Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Neuroscience

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Neurotransmission, Receptor and Glutamate receptor. His Neuroscience research integrates issues from AMPA receptor, Long-term depression and Postsynaptic potential. His AMPA receptor study deals with Inhibitory postsynaptic potential intersecting with Pregnenolone sulfate, Ionotropic effect and Biochemistry.

As a member of one scientific family, C. Fernando Valenzuela mostly works in the field of Excitatory postsynaptic potential, focusing on Long-term potentiation and, on occasion, Giant depolarizing potentials, Climbing fiber, Purkinje cell, Parallel fiber and Metabotropic glutamate receptor. C. Fernando Valenzuela interconnects Ethanol and Central nervous system in the investigation of issues within Neurotransmission. The study incorporates disciplines such as Homomeric, Pharmacology and Cell biology in addition to Receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic ablation of the t-SNARE SNAP-25 distinguishes mechanisms of neuroexocytosis. (448 citations)
  • Alcohol Enhances GABAergic Transmission to Cerebellar Granule Cells via an Increase in Golgi Cell Excitability (209 citations)
  • Effects of ethanol on recombinant human neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. (181 citations)

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

C. Fernando Valenzuela mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Neurotransmission and Glutamate receptor. His work in Excitatory postsynaptic potential, GABAergic, Cerebellum, Interneuron and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is related to Neuroscience. C. Fernando Valenzuela works mostly in the field of Endocrinology, limiting it down to topics relating to gamma-Aminobutyric acid and, in certain cases, Dopamine.

His Neurotransmission research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Long-term potentiation, Glutamatergic and GABAA receptor. The concepts of his Glutamate receptor study are interwoven with issues in NMDA receptor, Hippocampal formation and Pregnenolone sulfate. His work on Patch clamp is typically connected to Glycine receptor as part of general Receptor study, connecting several disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (48.96%)
  • Endocrinology (35.42%)
  • Internal medicine (35.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Neurotransmission (26.04%)
  • Internal medicine (35.42%)
  • Endocrinology (35.42%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neurotransmission, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience and GABAergic. His Neurotransmission study incorporates themes from Long-term potentiation, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and GABAA receptor. His Internal medicine course of study focuses on Ethanol and Gait, Neonatal brain and Motor coordination.

His study in the fields of Electrophysiology, Granule cell and Hippocampal formation under the domain of Neuroscience overlaps with other disciplines such as Neurodegeneration. His studies in Granule cell integrate themes in fields like Cerebellum, Cerebellar cortex and GABAA-rho receptor. His work carried out in the field of GABAergic brings together such families of science as Interneuron and Neuron.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exposure of neonatal rats to alcohol has differential effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal survival in the cerebellum and hippocampus (54 citations)
  • Third trimester-equivalent ethanol exposure increases anxiety-like behavior and glutamatergic transmission in the basolateral amygdala. (37 citations)
  • Mini-Review: Effects of Ethanol on GABAA Receptor-Mediated Neurotransmission in the Cerebellar Cortex—Recent Advances (33 citations)

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

  • Neurotransmitter
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Granule cell and Hippocampus. His study in Internal medicine focuses on Glutamatergic and Excitatory postsynaptic potential. The study of Neuroscience is intertwined with the study of Neurotransmission in a number of ways.

C. Fernando Valenzuela has researched Neurotransmission in several fields, including Electrophysiology and Basolateral amygdala, Amygdala. His work is dedicated to discovering how Granule cell, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential are connected with Cerebellum and other disciplines. His Hippocampus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Central nervous system and Interneuron.
