Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Postsynaptic potential, Neuroplasticity and Cerebral cortex. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Synaptic plasticity, Microglia and Amyloid. His research integrates issues of Purinergic receptor, Astrocyte, Cre recombinase, Signal transduction and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in his study of Microglia.

His research in Dendritic spine intersects with topics in Cortex and Anatomy. He interconnects Extinction, Sensory system, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Motor learning in the investigation of issues within Postsynaptic potential. His Cerebral cortex research includes themes of Dendritic filopodia, Physiology and Barrel cortex.

His most cited work include:

  • ATP mediates rapid microglial response to local brain injury in vivo (2485 citations)
  • Microglia Promote Learning-Dependent Synapse Formation through Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (1231 citations)
  • Long-term dendritic spine stability in the adult cortex (962 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Postsynaptic potential, Anatomy and Microglia. His research investigates the connection with Neuroscience and areas like Synaptic plasticity which intersect with concerns in Long-term potentiation. His Dendritic spine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neuroplasticity, Motor learning, Cortex and Barrel cortex.

The concepts of his Motor learning study are interwoven with issues in Motor cortex, Primary motor cortex and Biological neural network. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Postsynaptic potential, narrowing it down to issues related to the Excitatory postsynaptic potential, and often Neurotransmission. His Microglia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Purinergic receptor, Retinal, Immune system and Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (66.35%)
  • Dendritic spine (57.69%)
  • Postsynaptic potential (18.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Dendritic spine (57.69%)
  • Neuroscience (66.35%)
  • Microglia (18.27%)

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

Dendritic spine, Neuroscience, Microglia, Primary motor cortex and Cell biology are his primary areas of study. His Dendritic spine research incorporates themes from Synaptic plasticity, Postsynaptic potential, Motor learning, Motor cortex and Alzheimer's disease. As part of his studies on Neuroscience, Wen-Biao Gan often connects relevant subjects like Calcium imaging.

His Microglia study incorporates themes from Intraperitoneal injection, Retinal and Pathology. His study looks at the relationship between Primary motor cortex and fields such as Calcium, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Sensory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cerebral cortex, Cortex and Spinal cord.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Branch-specific dendritic Ca2+ spikes cause persistent synaptic plasticity (261 citations)
  • REM sleep selectively prunes and maintains new synapses in development and learning (207 citations)
  • REM sleep selectively prunes and maintains new synapses in development and learning (207 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Dendritic spine, Motor learning, Microglia and Biological neural network. Wen-Biao Gan regularly links together related areas like Signal transduction in his Neuroscience studies. Wen-Biao Gan has researched Dendritic spine in several fields, including Sensory deprivation, Sensory system, Atrophy, Pathology and Alzheimer's disease.

Wen-Biao Gan combines subjects such as Barrel cortex, Motor cortex, Primary motor cortex, Cortex and Dendritic filopodia with his study of Motor learning.
