Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition

W. Richard Staines mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Physical therapy, Stroke, Stroke survivor and Gait. His study in Neuroscience focuses on Somatosensory system, Sensory system, Stimulation, Motor cortex and Primary motor cortex. His Somatosensory system study also includes

  • Sensorimotor cortex and related Neurological disorder,
  • Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex which connect with Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

The various areas that W. Richard Staines examines in his Sensory system study include CTBS, Gating and Event-related potential. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Primary motor cortex, concentrating on Neurorehabilitation and intersecting with Aerobic exercise and Neuroplasticity. His work carried out in the field of Stroke survivor brings together such families of science as Negatively associated and Stroke patient.

His most cited work include:

  • Gait asymmetry in community-ambulating stroke survivors. (377 citations)
  • Gait asymmetry in community-ambulating stroke survivors. (377 citations)
  • Gait asymmetry in community-ambulating stroke survivors. (377 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Sensory system, Stimulation and Transcranial magnetic stimulation. W. Richard Staines usually deals with Neuroscience and limits it to topics linked to Premotor cortex and Supplementary motor area and Theta burst. His research integrates issues of Audiology, Sensory gating, Somatosensory evoked potential, Prefrontal cortex and Index finger in his study of Somatosensory system.

His Sensory system study combines topics in areas such as Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Gating, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and Event-related potential. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Stimulation, focusing on Postural Balance and, on occasion, Upper limb. His studies examine the connections between Balance and genetics, as well as such issues in Motor planning, with regards to Stroke.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (98.81%)
  • Somatosensory system (45.24%)
  • Sensory system (40.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (98.81%)
  • Sensory system (40.48%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (32.14%)

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

W. Richard Staines mostly deals with Neuroscience, Sensory system, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Somatosensory system and Stimulation. Particularly relevant to CTBS is his body of work in Neuroscience. His study in Sensory system is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Somatosensory evoked potential and Electroencephalography.

In his research on the topic of Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Neurophysiology, Stroke recovery and Facilitation is strongly related with Motor cortex. His Somatosensory system research incorporates themes from Stroke, Gating, Sensory gating and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cerebellum and Cortex in addition to Stimulation.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Total protein or high-abundance protein: Which offers the best loading control for Western blotting? (53 citations)
  • Aerobic exercise enhances neural correlates of motor skill learning (31 citations)
  • Human dorsomedial parieto-motor circuit specifies grasp during the planning of goal-directed hand actions. (26 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Primary motor cortex, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Stimulation and Aerobic exercise. His work in Neuroscience is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His studies in Stimulation integrate themes in fields like Hand muscles, Long-term depression, Cortex and Stimulus onset asynchrony.

W. Richard Staines combines subjects such as Exercise group, Cortical map, Glutamate receptor, CTBS and Long-term potentiation with his study of Aerobic exercise.
