Research topics

Which keywords describe Gerd Kempermann's research?

The keywords of their largest research topics: Brain Development, Adult Stem Cells, Neurogenesis, Eph receptors, Semaphorins, Synaptic Plasticity, Microglia and Neuroinflammation.

Size is their works in the topics tagged with each word, from their 8 largest topics. Each links to the topic it comes from most. The words come from the keyword list OpenAlex gives each topic, not from the text of the papers, so a word can appear that none of the papers uses.
