Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Central nervous system

Robert F. Spencer spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Anatomy, Cerebral cortex, Extraocular muscles and Superior colliculus. His work on Basal ganglia and Choline acetyltransferase as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to Substantia nigra, bridging the gap between disciplines. Robert F. Spencer has included themes like Botulinum toxin, Tegmentum, Neuromuscular transmission and Soma in his Anatomy study.

His Cerebral cortex research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Olfactory bulb, Cortex and Piriform cortex. His Extraocular muscles research includes themes of Proprioception, Axoplasmic transport, Nucleus, Ganglion and Dark cell. He interconnects Ventrobasal complex, Somatosensory system, Thalamus, Midbrain and Optometry in the investigation of issues within Superior colliculus.

His most cited work include:

  • The Oculomotor System. (238 citations)
  • Immunohistochemical localization of the neural cannabinoid receptor in rat brain (209 citations)
  • A cholinergic projection to the rat substantia nigra from the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (161 citations)

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

His main research concerns Anatomy, Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Vestibular system. His work on Extraocular muscles as part of his general Anatomy study is frequently connected to Synaptic vesicle, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. As part of the same scientific family, Robert F. Spencer usually focuses on Internal medicine, concentrating on Biochemistry and intersecting with Insulin.

Robert F. Spencer has researched Endocrinology in several fields, including Superior olivary complex and Mitochondrion. His Eye movement study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Superior colliculus and Semicircular canal. His studies deal with areas such as Hippocampal formation, Receptor and Cortex as well as Cerebral cortex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (37.88%)
  • Neuroscience (31.82%)
  • Internal medicine (19.70%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2013)?

  • Fullerene (6.06%)
  • Vestibular system (13.64%)
  • Neuroscience (31.82%)

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

Fullerene, Vestibular system, Neuroscience, Porphyrin and Photochemistry are his primary areas of study. Robert F. Spencer works mostly in the field of Fullerene, limiting it down to concerns involving Combinatorial chemistry and, occasionally, Organic chemistry. His Vestibular system research includes elements of Multiple sclerosis, Axon and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

His work carried out in the field of Excitatory postsynaptic potential brings together such families of science as Electrophysiology, Vestibulo–ocular reflex, Hindbrain, Stimulation and Depolarization. His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Orbit, Extraocular muscles and Anatomy. His research integrates issues of Myocyte, Auditory neuropathy and Oculomotor Muscle in his study of Anatomy.

Between 2001 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Biological organization of the extraocular muscles. (151 citations)
  • Hearing loss is a common feature of symptomatic children with profound biotinidase deficiency. (54 citations)
  • Efficient one-pot synthesis of rotaxanes bearing electron donors and [60]fullerene. (45 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Pathology

His primary areas of study are Anatomy, Sensorineural hearing loss, Biotinidase, Hearing loss and Newborn screening. When carried out as part of a general Anatomy research project, his work on Cochlea is frequently linked to work in Calbindin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Sensorineural hearing loss research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biotinidase deficiency and El Niño.
