Overview

Cecilia J. Hillard is primarily affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin in the United States. Their research spans several disciplines, predominantly within medicine and neuroscience, with notable contributions in pharmacology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, physiology, clinical psychology, and neurology.

The main topics addressed in Hillard's work include research on cannabis and cannabinoid compounds, neuroscience and neuropharmacology, tryptophan-related brain disorders, biochemical effects in animals, sleep and wakefulness, posttraumatic stress disorder, and stress responses involving cortisol. The broad focus on cannabinoid-related mechanisms and neuropharmacology is reflected throughout their publications.

Frequent publication venues for Hillard's research include:

  • Biological Psychiatry
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Psychoneuroendocrinology
  • Neuropsychopharmacology
  • Blood

Notable recent papers authored or co-authored by Hillard include:

  • "The IL-6 antagonist tocilizumab is associated with worse depression and related symptoms in the medically ill" (2021, Translational Psychiatry)
  • "Circulating endocannabinoids and genetic polymorphisms as predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity: heterogeneity in a community-based cohort" (2022, Translational Psychiatry)
  • "Meet Your Stress Management Professionals: The Endocannabinoids" (2020, Trends in Molecular Medicine)
  • "Exercise-induced increases in Anandamide and BDNF during extinction consolidation contribute to reduced threat following reinstatement: Preliminary evidence from a randomized controlled trial" (2021, Psychoneuroendocrinology)
  • "Role of endocannabinoid signaling in a septohabenular pathway in the regulation of anxiety- and depressive-like behavior" (2020, Molecular Psychiatry)

Hillard has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including:

  • Julián Romero
  • Terri A. deRoon-Cassini
  • Garrett Sauber
  • Jacklynn M. Fitzgerald
  • Anikó Szabó

In addition to journal articles, Hillard has contributed to book publications. One example is a book published by Frontiers Media titled Therapeutic Potential of the Cannabinoid CB2 Receptor (2022).
