What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Ocular dominance column, Orientation column and Monocular deprivation.
His Geniculate body and Striate cortex study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Chromatic scale and Rod-Cone Interaction.
His research in Visual cortex focuses on subjects like Cortex, which are connected to Cerebral cortex.
As part of his studies on Ocular dominance column, Torsten N. Wiesel often connects relevant subjects like Anatomy.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Occipital lobe and Receptive field in addition to Orientation column.
Particularly relevant to Binocular neurons is his body of work in Receptive field.
His most cited work include:
- Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex (10405 citations)
- Receptive fields and functional architecture of monkey striate cortex (5107 citations)
- Receptive fields of single neurones in the cat's striate cortex (3240 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Torsten N. Wiesel mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Anatomy, Orientation column and Receptive field.
Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as CATS and Neuroscience.
His research in Visual cortex is mostly concerned with Visual system.
His Anatomy research incorporates elements of Ocular dominance, Ocular dominance column, Retina and Macaque.
His Orientation column research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cerebral cortex, Binocular neurons, Orientation and Cortex.
