Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

Thomas L. Babb mainly focuses on Hippocampal formation, Neuroscience, Epilepsy, Temporal lobe and Hippocampus. His Hippocampal formation research integrates issues from Hippocampal sclerosis and Surgery. In the subject of general Neuroscience, his work in Amygdala, Subiculum, Electroencephalography and Epileptogenesis is often linked to Recall, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His study on Cortical dysplasia is often connected to In patient as part of broader study in Epilepsy. His Temporal lobe study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Magnetic resonance imaging, Ictal and Gynecology. While the research belongs to areas of Hippocampus, Thomas L. Babb spends his time largely on the problem of Limbic system, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Scalp.

His most cited work include:

  • Terminology and classification of the cortical dysplasias. (757 citations)
  • Endogenous potentials generated in the human hippocampal formation and amygdala by infrequent events. (719 citations)
  • Circuit Mechanisms of Seizures in the Pilocarpine Model of Chronic Epilepsy: Cell Loss and Mossy Fiber Sprouting (602 citations)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Hippocampal formation, Hippocampus, Temporal lobe and Epilepsy. His Hippocampal formation study often links to related topics such as Hippocampal sclerosis. He interconnects Hippocampus, Epilepsy surgery and Pathology in the investigation of issues within Hippocampal sclerosis.

Thomas L. Babb has included themes like Anterior temporal lobectomy, Rhythm and Excitatory postsynaptic potential in his Hippocampus study. His work on Parahippocampal gyrus as part of general Temporal lobe study is frequently linked to In patient, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The various areas that Thomas L. Babb examines in his Epilepsy study include Anesthesia and Surgery.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (58.54%)
  • Hippocampal formation (52.85%)
  • Hippocampus (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2005)?

  • Pathology (19.51%)
  • Cortical dysplasia (13.01%)
  • Hippocampal formation (52.85%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Pathology, Cortical dysplasia, Hippocampal formation, Neuroscience and Temporal lobe. His Pathology research includes themes of Cerebral cortex, Glutamate receptor and Cortex. His Hippocampal formation study incorporates themes from Hippocampus and Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

Specifically, his work in Neuroscience is concerned with the study of Epilepsy. His work in the fields of Hippocampal sclerosis and Temporal lobe seizure overlaps with other areas such as In patient. His Granule cell research incorporates themes from Fascia dentata and Mossy fiber.

Between 1997 and 2005, his most popular works were:

  • Terminology and classification of the cortical dysplasias. (757 citations)
  • Temporal lobe epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis in pediatric candidates for epilepsy surgery (160 citations)
  • Epileptogenicity correlated with increased N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR2A/B in human focal cortical dysplasia. (108 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

Thomas L. Babb focuses on Cortical dysplasia, Epilepsy, Cerebral cortex, Pathology and Neuroscience. Epilepsy is closely attributed to Hippocampus in his research. His Hippocampus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hippocampal formation, Status epilepticus, Temporal lobe and Kainic acid.

His study on Hippocampal formation is covered under Internal medicine. In his research, Neuron is intimately related to Cortex, which falls under the overarching field of Pathology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Radiology and Surgical treatment.
