Overview

Barbara J. Strupp is affiliated with Cornell University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of medicine and environmental science, with an emphasis on health, toxicology, and mutagenesis, as well as psychiatry and mental health. Their work also touches on pediatrics, perinatology, child health, public health, environmental and occupational health, and obstetrics and gynecology.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the study of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), heavy metal exposure and toxicity, as well as birth, development, and health. Additional research topics include maternal mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, neonatal and fetal brain pathology, memory and neural mechanisms, and Down syndrome and intellectual disability research.

Barbara J. Strupp's notable recent papers include:

  • "Animal Models of Childhood Exposure to Lead or Manganese: Evidence for Impaired Attention, Impulse Control, and Affect Regulation and Assessment of Potential Therapies" (2023, Neurotherapeutics)
  • "Maternal Choline Supplementation as a Potential Therapy for Down Syndrome: Assessment of Effects Throughout the Lifespan" (2021, Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience)
  • "Developmental Manganese Exposure Causes Lasting Attention Deficits Accompanied by Dysregulation of mTOR Signaling and Catecholaminergic Gene Expression in Brain Prefrontal Cortex" (2023, bioRxiv - Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • "Maternal choline supplementation lessens the behavioral dysfunction produced by developmental manganese exposure in a rodent model of ADHD" (2024, Neurotoxicology and Teratology)
  • "Methylphenidate alleviates cognitive dysfunction caused by early manganese exposure: Role of catecholaminergic receptors" (2024, Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry)

Their frequent coauthors include Donald R. Smith, Stéphane A. Beaudin, Shanna L. Howard, Sophie A Roth, and Angie Lam. Collaborations with these researchers have been repeated several times, indicating ongoing research partnerships.

Barbara J. Strupp's publications are often found in prominent venues within their fields such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Neurotoxicology and Teratology
  • Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry
  • Current Developments in Nutrition
  • Neurotherapeutics

Their body of work integrates clinical and environmental perspectives to study how exposure to environmental toxins like lead and manganese can impact neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD. The research also explores therapeutic interventions including maternal choline supplementation and pharmacological treatments to alleviate cognitive and behavioral dysfunction associated with toxic exposures and developmental disorders.
