His h-factor is good, but not by itself notable, neither is publishing papers in Nature or Science. You need indications of major awards, for instance being elected as a senior fellow of a large national meeting. Perhaps get help at the Teahouse. Ldm1954 (talk) 03:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Donnell Joseph Creel (born June 17, 1942) is an American neurophysiologist and optic/auditory system anatomist.[1][2]

He is widely known as the first to identify that optic nerve anomalies in Siamese cats are due to albinism.[3][4]

He is the Research Professor Emeritus of Ophthalmology at the University of Utah School of Medicine.[5]

Career[edit]

Creel was a career research scientist in the Veterans Administration (current United States Department of Veterans Affairs) and N.I.H. systems.[2][3] He first made the association that any form of albinism will have misrouting of optic nerve fibers, suggesting that all mammals, including humans with albinism, have disorganized visual systems via his publication in Nature Journal in 1971.[1][4]

In Science Magazine, 1978, Creel, Frank O'Donnell, and Carl J. Witkop authored a paper showing that humans with only ocular albinism also have similar anomalies. Creel also wrote a publication with Sharon R. Garber, Richard A. King, and Carl J. Witkop, Jr. in Science Magazine, 1980, showing that humans lacking inner ear pigment have abnormal auditory pathways similar to the visual abnormalities in albinos.[1][2][6]

His work on albinism has been covered in the article Identifying Human Albinism: A Comparison of VEP and fMRI on Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science in January 2008.[7]
