Amelia J. Eisch has published extensively, with work appearing frequently in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Neuroscience Letters, Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, and Nature Communications. The distribution of publications includes multiple papers in bioRxiv as well as several contributions to high-profile journals like the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Eisch include:

  • "B cells migrate into remote brain areas and support neurogenesis and functional recovery after focal stroke in mice" (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "A noradrenergic-hypothalamic neural substrate for stress-induced sleep disturbances" (2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Female and male rats readily consume and prefer oxycodone to water in a chronic, continuous access, two-bottle oral voluntary paradigm" (2020, Neuropharmacology)
  • "Multi-domain cognitive assessment of male mice shows space radiation is not harmful to high-level cognition and actually improves pattern separation" (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • "Does chronic systemic injection of the DREADD agonists clozapine-N-oxide or Compound 21 change behavior relevant to locomotion, exploration, anxiety, and depression in male non-DREADD-expressing mice?" (2020, Neuroscience Letters)

Their research collaboration network includes several frequent co-authors, such as Sanghee Yun, Fionya H. Tran, Iván Soler, Lorianna M. Colón, and Frederico Kiffer, with multiple joint publications reflecting ongoing scientific partnerships.
