- Anatomical and physiological characteristics of vestibular neurons mediating the horizontal vestibulo‐ocular reflex of the squirrel monkey (286 citations)
- Structure-function relationships in the primate superior colliculus. II. Morphological identity of presaccadic neurons (218 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Stephen M. Highstein mostly deals with Neuroscience, Anatomy, Vestibular system, Vestibulo–ocular reflex and Motor learning.
His work is connected to Efferent, Vestibular nuclei, Cerebellum, Electrophysiology and Squirrel monkey, as a part of Neuroscience.
In general Efferent study, his work on Efferent Neuron often relates to the realm of Oyster toadfish, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Anatomy research incorporates elements of Vestibular nerve and Semicircular canal.
In his work, Calyx is strongly intertwined with Excitatory postsynaptic potential, which is a subfield of Vestibular system.
His Vestibulo–ocular reflex study deals with Optokinetic reflex intersecting with Primate.
