Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Neuron

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Synaptic plasticity and Electrophysiology. His work on Hippocampal formation as part of general Neuroscience research is often related to Ca2 channels, thus linking different fields of science. His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Pharmacology and MEDLINE.

Christian Alzheimer has researched Synaptic plasticity in several fields, including Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Neurotransmission, Long-term potentiation, Signal transduction and Neurogenesis. The concepts of his Neurotransmission study are interwoven with issues in Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Muscarinic agonist and Bicuculline. His Electrophysiology research incorporates themes from Peripheral, Electric stimulation and Excitatory postsynaptic potential.

His most cited work include:

  • Phenotypic and Biochemical Analyses of BACE1- and BACE2-deficient Mice (290 citations)
  • Tau-Induced Defects in Synaptic Plasticity, Learning, and Memory Are Reversible in Transgenic Mice after Switching Off the Toxic Tau Mutant (206 citations)
  • Acid sphingomyelinase-ceramide system mediates effects of antidepressant drugs (205 citations)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Cell biology, Biophysics, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Postsynaptic potential, Neurotransmission and G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel. He has included themes like Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2, Glutamatergic, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Long-term potentiation in his Neurotransmission study.

His Cell biology research includes themes of Hippocampal formation, Downregulation and upregulation, Neuroprotection and Potassium channel. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Receptor and Adenosine. His Electrophysiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Synaptic plasticity, HaCaT and Cromakalim.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (49.63%)
  • Cell biology (20.74%)
  • Biophysics (22.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (20.74%)
  • Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (14.07%)
  • Neuroscience (49.63%)

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

Christian Alzheimer spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Neuroscience, Neurotransmission and Antipsychotic. His research investigates the connection between Cell biology and topics such as Potassium channel that intersect with problems in Proteolysis and Apoptosis. Christian Alzheimer works mostly in the field of Neuroscience, limiting it down to topics relating to Postsynaptic potential and, in certain cases, Nociception.

His research in Neurotransmission intersects with topics in Glutamate decarboxylase, Scaffold protein and Pyridoxal. His Dopamine receptor D2 research incorporates elements of Haloperidol, Long-term potentiation and Dopamine transporter. His Excitatory postsynaptic potential research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2, Muscarine, Hippocampal formation, Bursting and Axon.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A dopaminergic mechanism of antipsychotic drug efficacy, failure, and failure reversal: the role of the dopamine transporter. (25 citations)
  • EFhd2/Swiprosin-1 is a common genetic determinator for sensation-seeking/low anxiety and alcohol addiction. (23 citations)
  • A New Fluorogenic Small-Molecule Labeling Tool for Surface Diffusion Analysis and Advanced Fluorescence Imaging of β-Site Amyloid Precursor Protein-Cleaving Enzyme 1 Based on Silicone Rhodamine: SiR-BACE1. (17 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Neuron

His scientific interests lie mostly in Amyloid precursor protein, Antipsychotic, Neuroscience, Dopamine transporter and Fluorescence microscope. His Amyloid precursor protein research includes elements of Hippocampal mossy fiber, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Hippocampal formation, Ion channel and Cell biology. Christian Alzheimer interconnects Postsynaptic potential and Long-term depression in the investigation of issues within Neuroscience.

His Dopamine transporter research incorporates themes from Long-term potentiation, Dopamine receptor D2 and Neuron. Christian Alzheimer integrates many fields, such as Fluorescence microscope, Amyloid precursor protein secretase, Small molecule, Biophysics and Live cell imaging, in his works. As part of his studies on Dopaminergic, Christian Alzheimer often connects relevant subjects like Pharmacology.
