Overview

Arne Schousboe was affiliated with the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Their research primarily focused on neuroscience, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and medicine, with a notable emphasis on cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, physiology, neurology, and biological psychiatry.

Their work extensively covered topics such as neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, mitochondrial function and pathology, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, tryptophan and brain disorders, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, metabolism and genetic disorders, and diet and metabolism studies.

Schousboe contributed to publications in several scientific venues, with frequent appearances in Neurochemical Research, Journal of Neurochemistry, Glia, Neuropharmacology, and Progress in Neurobiology.

The scientist collaborated regularly with several co-authors, including Jens V. Andersen, Blanca I. Aldana, Helle S. Waagepetersen, Emil W. Westi, and Petrine Wellendorph.

Among their recent papers were:

  • Glutamate metabolism and recycling at the excitatory synapse in health and neurodegeneration (2021, Neuropharmacology)
  • Astrocyte energy and neurotransmitter metabolism in Alzheimer's disease: Integration of the glutamate/GABA-glutamine cycle (2022, Progress in Neurobiology)
  • Deficient astrocyte metabolism impairs glutamine synthesis and neurotransmitter homeostasis in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (2020, Neurobiology of Disease)
  • Hippocampal disruptions of synaptic and astrocyte metabolism are primary events of early amyloid pathology in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (2021, Cell Death and Disease)
  • Milestone Review: Metabolic dynamics of glutamate and GABA mediated neurotransmission - The essential roles of astrocytes (2023, Journal of Neurochemistry)

In 2009, Arne Schousboe was recognized by the Polish Academy of Science, an award reflecting their contributions to the scientific community.
