Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Dopamine
  • Neuroscience

Barbara A. Sorg mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Dopamine, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Nucleus accumbens. Her study connects Synaptic plasticity and Neuroscience. Her study on Dopamine transporter is often connected to Homovanillic acid as part of broader study in Dopamine.

Her study in Microdialysis and Central nervous system is carried out as part of her studies in Endocrinology. Barbara A. Sorg has researched Nucleus accumbens in several fields, including Electrophysiology, Dendritic spine, NMDA receptor, Tyrosine hydroxylase and Silent synapse. Her studies in Neurochemical integrate themes in fields like Panic, Anxiety, Facilitation, Biological neural network and Sensitization.

Her most cited work include:

  • The pharmacology and neural circuitry of sensitization to psychostimulants. (357 citations)
  • A role for sensitization in craving and relapse in cocaine addiction (230 citations)
  • Effects of cocaine and footshock stress on extracellular dopamine levels in the ventral striatum. (222 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Sensitization and Nucleus accumbens. In general Internal medicine study, her work on Dopamine receptor D2, Agonist and Dopaminergic often relates to the realm of Withdrawal time, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her Dopamine, Saline, Central nervous system and Circadian rhythm study, which is part of a larger body of work in Endocrinology, is frequently linked to Zeitgeber, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The Dopamine study combines topics in areas such as Catecholamine and Pharmacology. Her Sensitization research integrates issues from Neurochemical, Multiple chemical sensitivity, Locomotor activity and Adrenalectomy. Her Nucleus accumbens study combines topics in areas such as Ventral tegmental area, Striatum and Silent synapse.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (43.14%)
  • Internal medicine (40.20%)
  • Endocrinology (39.22%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Perineuronal net (16.67%)
  • Neuroscience (43.14%)
  • Parvalbumin (7.84%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Perineuronal net, Neuroscience, Parvalbumin, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. Her Perineuronal net study focuses on Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Barbara A. Sorg interconnects Neuron and Premovement neuronal activity in the investigation of issues within Endocrinology.

Her work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Electrophysiology, Conditioned place preference and Neuroplasticity, intersects with other areas such as Plasticity. Her Conditioned place preference study incorporates themes from Ventral tegmental area and Orexin. Her Neuroplasticity research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Self-administration, Medial forebrain bundle and Addiction.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Cocaine Exposure Modulates Perineuronal Nets and Synaptic Excitability of Fast-Spiking Interneurons in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex (27 citations)
  • Role of perineuronal nets in the anterior dorsal lateral hypothalamic area in the acquisition of cocaine-induced conditioned place preference and self-administration (23 citations)
  • Sleep disruption elevates oxidative stress in parvalbumin-positive cells of the rat cerebral cortex. (16 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

Barbara A. Sorg focuses on Perineuronal net, Parvalbumin, Neuroscience, GABAergic and Conditioned place preference. Her Perineuronal net research includes elements of Electrophysiology and Lateral hypothalamus. The various areas that Barbara A. Sorg examines in her Lateral hypothalamus study include Neuropeptide, Orexin, Nucleus accumbens and Ventral tegmental area.

Her Neuroplasticity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Extracellular matrix, Medial forebrain bundle, Addiction and Self-administration. In her papers, Barbara A. Sorg integrates diverse fields, such as Zeitgeber, Internal medicine, Cerebral cortex, Electroencephalography, Endocrinology and Oxidative stress. Her Internal medicine study frequently involves adjacent topics like Sleep deprivation.
