The concepts of his Membrane potential study are interwoven with issues in Hippocampal formation, Electrophysiology, Neuron and Cell type. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Potassium channel and Förster resonance energy transfer.

His most cited work include:

  • Transgenic mice for intersectional targeting of neural sensors and effectors with high specificity and performance. (626 citations)
  • Cortex-restricted disruption of NMDAR1 impairs neuronal patterns in the barrel cortex (429 citations)
  • Metabotropic glutamate receptors: A new target for the therapy of neurodegenerative disorders? (403 citations)

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

Thomas Knöpfel spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Metabotropic glutamate receptor, Biophysics, Membrane potential and Cell biology. The Neuroscience study combines topics in areas such as Postsynaptic potential and Neurotransmission. As a member of one scientific family, Thomas Knöpfel mostly works in the field of Metabotropic glutamate receptor, focusing on Metabotropic receptor and, on occasion, Molecular biology.

Thomas Knöpfel works mostly in the field of Biophysics, limiting it down to concerns involving Calcium and, occasionally, Endocrinology. Green fluorescent protein is closely connected to Förster resonance energy transfer in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Membrane potential. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dendritic spine and Cell type in addition to Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (46.32%)
  • Metabotropic glutamate receptor (22.11%)
  • Biophysics (18.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (46.32%)
  • Optogenetics (9.82%)
  • Voltage (7.72%)

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

Thomas Knöpfel mostly deals with Neuroscience, Optogenetics, Voltage, Biophysics and Electrophysiology. Thomas Knöpfel performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Neuroscience and Population via his papers. His Optogenetics research includes elements of Neuronal circuits, Cell, Cell specific and Transgene.

Thomas Knöpfel combines subjects such as Fluorescence, Förster resonance energy transfer and Paracellular transport, Permeability with his study of Biophysics. His work carried out in the field of Fluorescence brings together such families of science as Optical imaging and Biomedical engineering. His Electrophysiology study deals with In vivo intersecting with Cardiac myocyte and Pathology.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transgenic mice for intersectional targeting of neural sensors and effectors with high specificity and performance. (626 citations)
  • Voltage Imaging of Waking Mouse Cortex Reveals Emergence of Critical Neuronal Dynamics (109 citations)
  • Electrotonic coupling of excitable and nonexcitable cells in the heart revealed by optogenetics. (107 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Optogenetics, Wakefulness, Membrane potential and Nanotechnology. His research on Neuroscience often connects related areas such as Protein subunit. While the research belongs to areas of Optogenetics, he spends his time largely on the problem of Electrophysiology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Myocyte and Ex vivo.

His Wakefulness research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Visual perception, Electroporation and Cortex. His Membrane potential research incorporates elements of Ciona intestinalis, Sensory system and Förster resonance energy transfer. His Nanotechnology research integrates issues from Cellular differentiation, Hyperpolarization, Membrane transport, Cell membrane and Cell biology.
