Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

Thomas A. Woolsey mainly investigates Anatomy, Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Barrel and Cortex. Anatomy is often connected to Cerebral cortex in his work. His work on Central nervous system, Thalamus, Neocortex and Cytoarchitecture as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Layer, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His study in Central nervous system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Golgi apparatus, Neuroanatomy and Nervous system. His Somatosensory system study incorporates themes from Neuronal circuits and Nissl body. His Cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Camera lucida, Premovement neuronal activity, Neuroglia and Arteriole.

His most cited work include:

  • The autoradiographic demonstration of axonal connections in the central nervous system (1471 citations)
  • The autoradiographic demonstration of axonal connections in the central nervous system (1471 citations)
  • Somatosensory Cortex: Structural Alterations following Early Injury to Sense Organs (733 citations)

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

Thomas A. Woolsey mostly deals with Anatomy, Neuroscience, Barrel cortex, Somatosensory system and Cortex. His Anatomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nissl body, Central nervous system and Sensory system. His Barrel cortex study incorporates themes from Cerebral cortex, Biophysics, Receptive field and NMDA receptor.

His research investigates the connection between Somatosensory system and topics such as Stimulation that intersect with issues in Blood flow. As part of the same scientific family, Thomas A. Woolsey usually focuses on Cortex, concentrating on Premovement neuronal activity and intersecting with Brain mapping. Thomas A. Woolsey frequently studies issues relating to Nervous system and Neuroanatomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anatomy (47.47%)
  • Neuroscience (47.47%)
  • Barrel cortex (39.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2016)?

  • Barrel cortex (39.39%)
  • Neuroscience (47.47%)
  • Hippocampus (5.05%)

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

His main research concerns Barrel cortex, Neuroscience, Hippocampus, Barrel and Medical education. His work carried out in the field of Barrel cortex brings together such families of science as Long-term potentiation, Cortical column, Cortex and Silent synapse. His Cortex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Brainstem, Premovement neuronal activity and Thalamus.

As part of his studies on Neuroscience, he frequently links adjacent subjects like NMDA receptor. Thomas A. Woolsey interconnects Olfactory bulb, Somatosensory system, Axoplasmic transport and Axon in the investigation of issues within Hippocampus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuroanatomy, Cerebral cortex, Central nervous system, Cytoarchitecture and Neuroanatomical Tract-Tracing Techniques.

Between 2003 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • In vivo imaging in a murine model of glioblastoma. (34 citations)
  • Volunteers Bring Passion to Science Outreach (30 citations)
  • Passive vs. active touch-induced activity in the developing whisker pathway (13 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

His scientific interests lie mostly in Medical education, Science outreach, Barrel cortex, Neuroscience and Brain mapping. In general Medical education study, his work on Graduate students and Underrepresented Minority often relates to the realm of Sociology, Passion and Scientific literacy, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Combining a variety of fields, including Science outreach, Young scientist and Formative assessment, are what the author presents in his essays.

His studies in Barrel cortex integrate themes in fields like Long-term potentiation, Synapse, Lateral inhibition and Silent synapse. His research in the fields of Thalamus and Cortex overlaps with other disciplines such as Muscimol and Whisker. His Brain mapping research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Whisking in animals, Premovement neuronal activity, Brainstem, Spectral bands and Pattern recognition.
