Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

J. Sherwood Charlton's research has focused on the physiological adaptations of photoreceptor cells, particularly in the ventral eye of the horseshoe crab, Limulus. His work has investigated the mechanisms of light adaptation and the role of intracellular calcium and sodium in modulating photoreceptor responses. Charlton has explored local membrane currents and action potentials within these cells, employing in vitro techniques to quantify the time course of sensitivity changes. His research also includes studies on the response properties of retinal cells in other species, such as the tree squirrel.

Charlton's publications span several years, with early work in the 1970s and later contributions in the 1980s. His scholarly output includes 11 publications, accumulating 237 citations and an h-index of 7. While his most recent publication listed is from 2020, he is not recently active in research.
