W. D. Willis mainly focuses on Central nervous system, Nociception, Noxious stimulus, Spinal cord and Capsaicin.
To a larger extent, W. D. Willis studies Neuroscience with the aim of understanding Central nervous system.
His Noxious stimulus research incorporates themes from Anesthesia and Hyperalgesia, Allodynia.
The various areas that he examines in his Spinal cord study include NMDA receptor, Protein phosphorylation, CNQX and Phosphorylation.
His Capsaicin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endocrinology, Nitric oxide and Nitric oxide synthase.
His work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Ventrobasal complex, Nucleus, Thalamus and Postsynaptic potential.
