Overview

Barbara E. Jones is affiliated with McGill University in Canada and has contributed research across multiple scientific disciplines, including neuroscience, psychology, and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work spans various subfields, such as cellular and molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, animal science and zoology, endocrine and autonomic systems, and social psychology.

The scientist's research topics cover a diverse range related mainly to neuroscience as well as the application of therapeutic and behavioral studies. Key areas of focus include sleep and wakefulness research, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, photoreceptor and optogenetics research, music therapy and health, family and patient care in intensive care units, nursing education and management, and veterinary equine medical research.

The following recent papers illustrate the breadth of their research:

  • Discharge and Role of GABA Pontomesencephalic Neurons in Cortical Activity and Sleep-Wake States Examined by Optogenetics and Juxtacellular Recordings in Mice, 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Storytelling Through Music to Facilitate Meaning Reconstruction and Address Psychosocial Stress in Oncology Nurses, 2022, Music and Medicine
  • 24 Effects of Oral Supplementation of Cannabidiol on Young Stallion Behavior, 2023, Journal of Animal Science

Barbara E. Jones frequently collaborates with several researchers in their field, including Youssouf Cissé, Masaru Ishibashi, Josefa Jost, Hanieh Toossi, and Lynda Mainville. These collaborations span various projects reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of their research themes.

Publications by Barbara E. Jones have appeared in journals such as:

  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Music and Medicine
  • Journal of Animal Science

Their work on sleep and wakefulness encompasses investigations at the cellular and molecular level, employing methods such as optogenetics to elucidate neuronal functions related to cortical activity. Other research connects therapeutic approaches in music to psychosocial stress among healthcare professionals. Additionally, their studies extend to veterinary science, analyzing behavioral effects in animals through nutritional supplementation.
