Overview

Bruno Giros is affiliated with McGill University in Canada and has contributed extensively to the field of neuroscience. Their research primarily focuses on neurotransmitter receptor influence on behavior and receptor mechanisms and signaling, with significant involvement in neuroscience and neuropharmacology research.

The scientist has published 52 papers in neuroscience, with notable subfields including cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and endocrine and autonomic systems. Their work frequently covers key topics such as:

  • Neurotransmitter Receptor Influence on Behavior
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Receptor Mechanisms and Signaling
  • Sleep and Wakefulness Research
  • Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration Mechanisms
  • Neuropeptides and Animal Physiology
  • Tryptophan and Brain Disorders

Significant publications by Giros include:

  • GPR56/ADGRG1 is associated with response to antidepressant treatment, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Nucleus accumbens D1- and D2-expressing neurons control the balance between feeding and activity-mediated energy expenditure, 2024, Nature Communications
  • Striatal projection neurons coexpressing dopamine D1 and D2 receptors modulate the motor function of D1- and D2-SPNs, 2024, Nature Neuroscience
  • Disruption of Astrocyte-Dependent Dopamine Control in the Developing Medial Prefrontal Cortex Leads to Excessive Grooming in Mice, 2022, Biological Psychiatry
  • Essential role of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 in cardiac development and function, 2021, DukeSpace (Duke University)

Giros has been published predominantly in venues such as BioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), where there are 13 publications, Biological Psychiatry with three publications, Nature Communications with two, Brain Behavior and Immunity with two, and Nature Neuroscience with one.

Their research collaborations include frequent coauthors such as Gohar Fakhfouri, Elsa Isingrini, Naguib Mechawar, Gustavo Turecki, and Maria Antonietta Davoli. These collaborators have worked jointly on multiple publications, indicating ongoing collaborative efforts in related research areas.
