W. M. Cowan

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Neuron
• Neuroscience
• Hippocampus

W. M. Cowan mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Anatomy, Hippocampal formation, Dentate gyrus and Commissure. His work on Septal nuclei and Thalamus as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Ventral tegmental area, Medial forebrain bundle and Diagonal band of Broca, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Parabrachial Nucleus, Brainstem and Efferent as well as Thalamus.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Degeneration and Neurogenesis. His Hippocampal formation study frequently links to related topics such as Hippocampus. His work on Granule cell as part of general Dentate gyrus research is frequently linked to Schaffer collateral, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

• An autoradiographic study of the organization of the efferet connections of the hippocampal formation in the rat (1414 citations)
• Regressive events in neurogenesis (1202 citations)
• Direct hypothalamo-autonomic connections. (1083 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Anatomy, Neuroscience, Dentate gyrus, Hippocampal formation and Commissure. His Anatomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Retina and Entorhinal cortex. His Hippocampus, Hypothalamus and Thalamus study in the realm of Neuroscience connects with subjects such as Medial forebrain bundle and Ventral tegmental area.

His Dentate gyrus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neocortex and Axon. His Hippocampal formation research integrates issues from Fornix and Gyrus. His research in Subiculum focuses on subjects like Ammon's horn, which are connected to Efferent.

He most often published in these fields:

• Anatomy (78.57%)
• Neuroscience (64.29%)
• Dentate gyrus (33.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1980-1988)?

• Anatomy (78.57%)
• Neuroscience (64.29%)
• Hippocampal formation (30.36%)

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

Anatomy, Neuroscience, Hippocampal formation, Retina and Superior colliculus are his primary areas of study. The Anatomy study combines topics in areas such as Diencephalon and Thalamus. In general Neuroscience, his work in Deep cerebellar nuclei, Inferior colliculus and Retrograde tracing is often linked to Population and Internal capsule linking many areas of study.

The Entorhinal cortex and Hippocampal region research W. M. Cowan does as part of his general Hippocampal formation study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Cellular differentiation and Emotional lateralization, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His work deals with themes such as Retinal ganglion, Retinal ganglion cell, Visual system and Ganglion, which intersect with Superior colliculus. His Process study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Growth cone, Biophysics, Hippocampus and Fasciculation.

Between 1980 and 1988, his most popular works were:

• Regressive events in neurogenesis (1202 citations)
• Topographic targeting errors in the retinocollicular projection and their elimination by selective ganglion cell death (230 citations)
• Evidence for collateral projections by neurons in Ammon's horn, the dentate gyrus, and the subiculum: a multiple retrograde labeling study in the rat (215 citations)

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

• Neuron
• Neuroscience
• Axon

W. M. Cowan mainly investigates Neuroscience, Population, Anatomy, Parasol cell and Retina. His study in Efferent and Neurogenesis is done as part of Neuroscience. W. M. Cowan interconnects Dentate gyrus, Ammon's horn, Hippocampal formation, Subiculum and Commissure in the investigation of issues within Efferent.

His research combines Entorhinal cortex and Commissure. W. M. Cowan has researched Neurogenesis in several fields, including Process, Axon, Neuron and Nervous system. Parasol cell is integrated with Ganglion, Superior colliculus, Retinal ganglion cell and Retinal ganglion in his study.
