Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Hippocampal formation, Dendritic spine and Dentate gyrus. Her study in Dendrite extends to Internal medicine with its themes. Her work in Hippocampal formation addresses subjects such as Neuroplasticity, which are connected to disciplines such as Metaplasticity, Adult female and Dendritic plasticity.

Her Dendritic spine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of NMDA receptor, Hormone and Hypothalamus. Her Dentate gyrus study combines topics in areas such as Corticosterone and Glial fibrillary acidic protein. Catherine S. Woolley usually deals with Hippocampus and limits it to topics linked to Synaptic plasticity and Period and Synapse.

Her most cited work include:

  • Gonadal steroids regulate dendritic spine density in hippocampal pyramidal cells in adulthood (1201 citations)
  • Estradiol mediates fluctuation in hippocampal synapse density during the estrous cycle in the adult rat. (1112 citations)
  • Differentiation of newly born neurons and glia in the dentate gyrus of the adult rat (1090 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Hippocampus and Hippocampal formation. Her work on Granule cell, Steroid, Glucocorticoid and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential as part of general Internal medicine study is frequently linked to Catamenial epilepsy, bridging the gap between disciplines. She regularly links together related areas like Receptor in her Endocrinology studies.

Her Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Glutamate receptor and Neurotransmission. Her study in Hippocampus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Kainic acid, Basal forebrain, Neuropeptide, Cholinergic neuron and Estrogen. She combines subjects such as Glutamate decarboxylase, Biophysics, Estrous cycle and Disinhibition with her study of Hippocampal formation.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (57.14%)
  • Endocrinology (52.75%)
  • Neuroscience (46.15%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Internal medicine (57.14%)
  • Endocrinology (52.75%)
  • Neuroscience (46.15%)

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

Her main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Neurotransmission and Research design. Her research in the fields of Rat brain, Hormone metabolism, Hormone and Preoptic area overlaps with other disciplines such as Quantitative analysis. Her work in the fields of Endocrinology, such as Hippocampus and Hippocampal formation, overlaps with other areas such as Messenger RNA.

Her Hippocampus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Kainic acid, Microdialysis, Status epilepticus and Estrogen. Catherine S. Woolley interconnects Biophysics, Steroid hormone and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential in the investigation of issues within Hippocampal formation. Her studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Long-term potentiation and Postsynaptic potential.

Between 2012 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • 17β-Estradiol Acutely Potentiates Glutamatergic Synaptic Transmission in the Hippocampus through Distinct Mechanisms in Males and Females (114 citations)
  • Sex Differences in Molecular Signaling at Inhibitory Synapses in the Hippocampus (96 citations)
  • Considering Sex as a Biological Variable Will Be Valuable for Neuroscience Research. (91 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

Catherine S. Woolley mostly deals with Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Hippocampus, Sex characteristics and Estrogen. Amygdala, Fatty acid amide hydrolase, Depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition, Anandamide and Endocannabinoid system are the subjects of her Internal medicine studies. Her Endocrinology research focuses on Stimulation and Hippocampal formation.

Her research in Hippocampus intersects with topics in Cingulate cortex, Stria terminalis and Hormone metabolism, Hormone, Preoptic area. Her Sex characteristics research integrates issues from Sex factors, Applied psychology and Neuroscience research. Her work deals with themes such as Kainic acid, Microdialysis and Status epilepticus, which intersect with Estrogen.
