Sascha du Lac

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Neuroscience
• Cerebellum
• Nervous system

Sascha du Lac focuses on Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Patch clamp, Nonsynaptic plasticity and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. In general Neuroscience, his work in Cerebellum, Postsynaptic density and Medial vestibular nucleus is often linked to Chemistry and Glycine receptor linking many areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Non-spiking neuron and GABAergic in addition to Cerebellum.

His Postsynaptic density research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metaplasticity and Post-tetanic potentiation. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Vestibular nuclei and Patch clamp. His Vestibular nuclei research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Calcium in biology, Neural Inhibition, Cellular neuroscience and Reflex.

His most cited work include:

• Long-Lasting Increases in Intrinsic Excitability Triggered by Inhibition (209 citations)
• Regulation of firing response gain by calcium-dependent mechanisms in vestibular nucleus neurons. (138 citations)
• Decreases in CaMKII Activity Trigger Persistent Potentiation of Intrinsic Excitability in Spontaneously Firing Vestibular Nucleus Neurons (97 citations)

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

Sascha du Lac mainly investigates Neuroscience, Vestibular nuclei, Medial vestibular nucleus, Cerebellum and Chemistry. His work in Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Patch clamp, GABAergic, Vestibular system and Sensory system is related to Neuroscience. His work on Vestibular nerve as part of general Vestibular system research is frequently linked to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Vestibular nuclei research incorporates elements of Biological neural network, Neural Inhibition and Reflex. His work deals with themes such as Vestibulo–ocular reflex and Brainstem, which intersect with Medial vestibular nucleus. His study in the fields of Cerebellar cortex, Purkinje cell and Flocculus under the domain of Cerebellum overlaps with other disciplines such as Basis.

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Biological neural network, Medial vestibular nucleus, Axon and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. His biological study focuses on Optogenetics. His Optogenetics study combines topics in areas such as Neocortex, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, GABAergic and Nervous system.

His studies deal with areas such as Optokinetic reflex, Eye movement, Retina and Stimulus as well as Biological neural network. Medial vestibular nucleus is the subject of his research, which falls under Vestibular nuclei.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Association Between Vestibular and Cognitive Function in U.S. Adults: Data From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (56 citations)
• Vestibular vertigo and comorbid cognitive and psychiatric impairment: the 2008 National Health Interview Survey (50 citations)
• Graded Coexpression of Ion Channel, Neurofilament, and Synaptic Genes in Fast-Spiking Vestibular Nucleus Neurons. (8 citations)

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

• Neuroscience
• Nervous system
• Axon

His main research concerns Cognition, Audiology, Vestibular system, Balance and Medial vestibular nucleus. His research integrates issues of Panic disorder, Depression and Anxiety in his study of Cognition. He combines subjects such as Psychiatry, Physical therapy and Activities of daily living with his study of Audiology.

He undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Vestibular system and Poison control in his work. His Medial vestibular nucleus study is concerned with the field of Neuroscience as a whole. In general Neuroscience study, his work on Vestibular nuclei often relates to the realm of Chemistry, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
