Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Cerebral cortex

S. Murray Sherman spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Thalamus, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Geniculate and Anatomy. His Tonic, Visual system, Cortex, Bursting and Slice preparation study are his primary interests in Neuroscience. The various areas that S. Murray Sherman examines in his Thalamus study include Cerebral cortex, Cortical processing and Sensory system.

As part of the same scientific family, S. Murray Sherman usually focuses on Lateral geniculate nucleus, concentrating on Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and intersecting with Axon and Synapse. His work deals with themes such as Retina and Receptive field, which intersect with Geniculate. His work on Tree shrew and Tupaia glis as part of general Anatomy study is frequently connected to Eye growth and Retrograde Degeneration, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • The role of the thalamus in the flow of information to the cortex (629 citations)
  • Tonic and burst firing: dual modes of thalamocortical relay. (573 citations)
  • On the actions that one nerve cell can have on another: Distinguishing “drivers” from “modulators” (546 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Thalamus, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Anatomy and Geniculate. His work is connected to Cortex, Somatosensory system, Sensory system, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, as a part of Neuroscience. S. Murray Sherman combines subjects such as Cerebral cortex, Brainstem, GABAergic and Auditory cortex with his study of Thalamus.

His Lateral geniculate nucleus study deals with Bursting intersecting with Tonic. His Anatomy research includes themes of Retina, Visual system and Visual field. His study focuses on the intersection of Geniculate and fields such as Electrophysiology with connections in the field of Stimulus.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (77.60%)
  • Thalamus (39.89%)
  • Lateral geniculate nucleus (32.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (77.60%)
  • Thalamus (39.89%)
  • Cortex (21.31%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Thalamus, Cortex, Somatosensory system and Sensory system. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glutamatergic and Metabotropic glutamate receptor. His study in Thalamus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cerebral cortex, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Cognition and Neocortex.

His studies in Lateral geniculate nucleus integrate themes in fields like Anatomy and Magnocellular cell. The concepts of his Cortex study are interwoven with issues in Efference copy, DUAL and Midbrain. In general Somatosensory system, his work in Barrel cortex is often linked to Projection linking many areas of study.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Thalamus plays a central role in ongoing cortical functioning (351 citations)
  • The corticothalamocortical circuit drives higher-order cortex in the mouse (235 citations)
  • Distinct functions for direct and transthalamic corticocortical connections (207 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Cerebral cortex

Neuroscience, Thalamus, Cortex, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Somatosensory system are his primary areas of study. In his study, Nerve net is inextricably linked to Glutamatergic, which falls within the broad field of Neuroscience. The Thalamus study which covers Neocortex that intersects with Brainstem and Auditory system.

His study explores the link between Excitatory postsynaptic potential and topics such as Photostimulation that cross with problems in Anatomy. His Somatosensory system research incorporates themes from Slice preparation and Stimulation. His research in Cerebral cortex intersects with topics in Sensory system and Communication.
