In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alexander F. Hoffman mostly deals with Neuroscience, Cannabinoid receptor, Synthetic cannabinoids, Cannabinoid and Internal medicine.
His Dopamine and Thalamus study in the realm of Neuroscience connects with subjects such as Context.
Alexander F. Hoffman combines subjects such as Gs alpha subunit, G protein and Functional selectivity with his study of Dopamine.
His work carried out in the field of Cannabinoid receptor brings together such families of science as Synaptic plasticity and Pharmacology.
As part of the same scientific family, Alexander F. Hoffman usually focuses on Cannabinoid, concentrating on Endocannabinoid system and intersecting with Biological neural network, Brain stimulation reward, Addiction and Drug.
RGS4 is closely connected to Endocrinology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine.
Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Optogenetic silencing of a corticotropin-releasing factor pathway from the central amygdala to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis disrupts sustained fear. (51 citations)
- Cannabinoids as hippocampal network administrators. (33 citations)
- Neuron-Specific Genome Modification in the Adult Rat Brain Using CRISPR-Cas9 Transgenic Rats. (25 citations)
