Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Cerebellum

Robert A. McCrea mostly deals with Neuroscience, Anatomy, Vestibular nuclei, Vestibular system and Vestibulo–ocular reflex. Robert A. McCrea studies Neuroscience, focusing on Electrophysiology in particular. Robert A. McCrea has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Abducens nucleus and Cerebellar cortex.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nucleus prepositus, Reticular formation and Paramedian pontine reticular formation. His Cerebellar cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pontine nuclei, Nucleus and Perihypoglossal nuclei. His study in the field of Vestibular nerve and Vestibular pathway also crosses realms of Body movement.

His most cited work include:

  • Anatomical and physiological characteristics of vestibular neurons mediating the horizontal vestibulo‐ocular reflex of the squirrel monkey (286 citations)
  • Anatomical connections of the nucleus prepositus of the cat. (272 citations)
  • Anatomy and physiology of saccadic burst neurons in the alert squirrel monkey. I. Excitatory burst neurons. (249 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Anatomy, Vestibular nuclei, Vestibular system and Vestibulo–ocular reflex. His study in Neuroscience focuses on Abducens nucleus, Eye movement, Squirrel monkey, Nucleus prepositus and Vestibular pathway. His Axon study in the realm of Anatomy connects with subjects such as Medial longitudinal fasciculus.

Robert A. McCrea has included themes like Motion perception and Paramedian pontine reticular formation in his Vestibular nuclei study. His Vestibular system research includes elements of Sensory system and Reflex. His studies in Vestibulo–ocular reflex integrate themes in fields like Smooth pursuit and Fixation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (75.00%)
  • Anatomy (46.88%)
  • Vestibular nuclei (40.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2015)?

  • Neuroscience (75.00%)
  • Squirrel monkey (18.75%)
  • Translation (4.69%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Robert A. McCrea spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Squirrel monkey, Translation, Thalamus and Horizontal plane. His work in the fields of Eye movement, Vestibulo–ocular reflex, Vestibular nuclei and Vestibular system overlaps with other areas such as Context. His study in Vestibular nuclei is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vestibular nerve, Sensory processing, Sensory system and Reflex.

His Vestibular system study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Head, Proprioception and Neuron. To a larger extent, Robert A. McCrea studies Anatomy with the aim of understanding Squirrel monkey. His Thalamus research incorporates elements of Motion perception, Stimulation and Sensory Receptor Cells.

Between 2003 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Activity of Ventroposterior Thalamus Neurons During Rotation and Translation in the Horizontal Plane in the Alert Squirrel Monkey (39 citations)
  • Self-Motion Signals in Vestibular Nuclei Neurons Projecting to the Thalamus in the Alert Squirrel Monkey (32 citations)
  • Coding of self-motion signals in ventro-posterior thalamus neurons in the alert squirrel monkey. (20 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Cerebellum

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Squirrel monkey, Thalamus, Physics and Stimulation. Robert A. McCrea applies his multidisciplinary studies on Squirrel monkey and Trunk in his research. His Trunk study spans across into fields like Body movement, Head, Anatomy, Neuron and Vestibular system.

Robert A. McCrea integrates many fields in his works, including Body movement, Proprioception and Context. His Physics studies intersect with other subjects such as Horizontal plane, Rotation, Translation, Whole body and Communication. His studies in Stimulation integrate themes in fields like Motion perception, Sensory Receptor Cells and Vestibular nuclei.
