Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neuroscience

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Basal ganglia, Striatum, Anatomy and Globus pallidus. All of his Neuroscience and Dopaminergic, Dopamine, Thalamus, Biotinylated dextran amine and Anterograde tracing investigations are sub-components of the entire Neuroscience study. His studies in Basal ganglia integrate themes in fields like Substantia nigra, GABAergic, Squirrel monkey and Subthalamic nucleus.

His Striatum research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biocytin, Centromedian nucleus, Glutamate receptor and Putamen. His work carried out in the field of Anatomy brings together such families of science as Stria terminalis, Nucleus, Zona incerta, Pedunculopontine nucleus and Cortex. His Globus pallidus study deals with Axoplasmic transport intersecting with Midbrain tegmentum and Superior colliculus.

His most cited work include:

  • Microcircuitry of the direct and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia. (884 citations)
  • Goal-directed and habitual control in the basal ganglia: implications for Parkinson's disease (666 citations)
  • Goal-directed and habitual control in the basal ganglia: implications for Parkinson's disease (666 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Striatum, Basal ganglia, Globus pallidus and Glutamatergic. His Neuroscience research incorporates themes from Metabotropic glutamate receptor and Subthalamic nucleus. His Striatum research includes themes of Dendritic spine, Caudate nucleus, Putamen and MPTP.

Yoland Smith combines subjects such as Cerebral cortex, Dopamine and Anatomy, Squirrel monkey with his study of Basal ganglia. His Globus pallidus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Receptor and GABAB receptor. Yoland Smith focuses mostly in the field of Glutamatergic, narrowing it down to topics relating to Excitatory postsynaptic potential and, in certain cases, Postsynaptic potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (115.24%)
  • Striatum (54.85%)
  • Basal ganglia (48.75%)

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

  • Neuroscience (115.24%)
  • Striatum (54.85%)
  • Basal ganglia (48.75%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Striatum, Basal ganglia, Thalamus and Parkinson's disease. The concepts of his Neuroscience study are interwoven with issues in Glutamatergic and Subthalamic nucleus. Yoland Smith interconnects Glutamate receptor, Caudate nucleus, Putamen, Interneuron and Neuroplasticity in the investigation of issues within Striatum.

His Basal ganglia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cerebral cortex and Movement disorders. His research on Thalamus also deals with topics like

  • Voltage-dependent calcium channel that intertwine with fields like Blockade,
  • Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, which have a strong connection to Neurotransmission. His Parkinson's disease research incorporates elements of Denervation and Parkinsonism.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Current Opinions and Areas of Consensus on the Role of the Cerebellum in Dystonia (105 citations)
  • Cholinergic interneurons in the dorsal and ventral striatum: anatomical and functional considerations in normal and diseased conditions (86 citations)
  • Reduced cortical innervation of the subthalamic nucleus in MPTP-treated parkinsonian monkeys (50 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter

Yoland Smith mostly deals with Neuroscience, Striatum, Basal ganglia, Parkinson's disease and Subthalamic nucleus. His Neuroscience research includes elements of Synaptic plasticity and Glutamatergic. The various areas that Yoland Smith examines in his Striatum study include Neuroimaging, Cognition, Cognitive neuroscience and Motor skill.

His study in Basal ganglia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cerebral cortex and Parvalbumin. His research in Subthalamic nucleus intersects with topics in NMDA receptor, Globus pallidus and Putamen. His Thalamus research integrates issues from Dopaminergic and Electrophysiology.
