Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

William Wisden spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Receptor, Protein subunit, AMPA receptor and Molecular biology. The various areas that William Wisden examines in his Receptor study include Gene expression and In situ hybridization. His work deals with themes such as Neurotransmission and Metabotropic glutamate receptor, which intersect with AMPA receptor.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Interleukin 5 receptor alpha subunit, Neurotransmitter and Interleukin 10 receptor, alpha subunit in addition to Molecular biology. His Kainate receptor study deals with Cell biology intersecting with Biochemistry, Complementary DNA, Chloride channel complex and Xenopus. His GABAA receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Pharmacology.

His most cited work include:

  • The distribution of 13 GABAA receptor subunit mRNAs in the rat brain − I. Telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon (1398 citations)
  • A family of AMPA-selective glutamate receptors (1285 citations)
  • Flip and flop: a cell-specific functional switch in glutamate-operated channels of the CNS (1068 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, GABAA receptor, Receptor, Cerebellum and Cell biology. His work in Neuroscience covers topics such as Neurotransmission which are related to areas like gamma-Aminobutyric acid. William Wisden has researched GABAA receptor in several fields, including Zolpidem, Endocrinology and Pharmacology.

He works mostly in the field of Receptor, limiting it down to topics relating to Protein subunit and, in certain cases, Molecular biology. His research in Cerebellum intersects with topics in Hippocampal formation, Granule cell and Motor learning. In his study, Striatum, Spinal cord and Central nervous system is inextricably linked to In situ hybridization, which falls within the broad field of Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (49.13%)
  • GABAA receptor (36.42%)
  • Receptor (32.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (49.13%)
  • Non-rapid eye movement sleep (9.25%)
  • Sleep in non-human animals (6.36%)

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

William Wisden mainly investigates Neuroscience, Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Sleep in non-human animals, GABAergic and Sleep deprivation. His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dexmedetomidine and GABAA receptor. His study on GABAA receptor is covered under Receptor.

His GABAergic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lateral hypothalamus and Optogenetics. His Sleep deprivation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rapid eye movement sleep, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as Hypothalamus, intersects with other areas such as Population.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Neuronal ensembles sufficient for recovery sleep and the sedative actions of α2 adrenergic agonists. (124 citations)
  • Wakefulness Is Governed by GABA and Histamine Cotransmission (92 citations)
  • Altered Activity in the Central Medial Thalamus Precedes Changes in the Neocortex during Transitions into Both Sleep and Propofol Anesthesia (83 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Sleep onset, Wakefulness and Optogenetics. William Wisden interconnects Internal medicine, Dexmedetomidine and Endocrinology in the investigation of issues within Neuroscience. In his study, Agonist, Locus coeruleus and Sedation is strongly linked to Sleep deprivation, which falls under the umbrella field of Internal medicine.

His study in Non-rapid eye movement sleep is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermoregulation, Biological neural network and Circadian rhythm. His research integrates issues of Glutamate receptor, Arousal, Orexin and Cognition in his study of Wakefulness. His Optogenetics study incorporates themes from Glutamate decarboxylase, Neurotransmission, GABAA receptor, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and Medium spiny neuron.
