What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Synaptic plasticity, Ventral tegmental area, Dopamine and Nucleus accumbens.
His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Long-term depression and Neurotransmission.
While the research belongs to areas of Synaptic plasticity, Christian Lüscher spends his time largely on the problem of NMDA receptor, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Glutamatergic.
Christian Lüscher focuses mostly in the field of Ventral tegmental area, narrowing it down to matters related to gamma-Aminobutyric acid and, in some cases, Neurotransmitter, Reward system, Disinhibition, Pharmacology and Cholinergic neuron.
Christian Lüscher has included themes like Muscle relaxation and Addiction in his Dopamine study.
His studies examine the connections between Nucleus accumbens and genetics, as well as such issues in Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, with regards to Associative learning and Medium spiny neuron.
His most cited work include:
- Drug-Evoked Synaptic Plasticity in Addiction: From Molecular Changes to Circuit Remodeling (710 citations)
- G Protein-Coupled Inwardly Rectifying K+ Channels (GIRKs) Mediate Postsynaptic but Not Presynaptic Transmitter Actions in Hippocampal Neurons (643 citations)
- Role of AMPA receptor cycling in synaptic transmission and plasticity. (632 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Neuroscience, Dopamine, Synaptic plasticity, Ventral tegmental area and Addiction are his primary areas of study.
Christian Lüscher has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including NMDA receptor and AMPA receptor.
In general Dopamine, his work in Medium spiny neuron, Dopaminergic and Dopamine transporter is often linked to Orbitofrontal cortex linking many areas of study.
Christian Lüscher interconnects Long-term potentiation, Neuroplasticity and Neurotransmission in the investigation of issues within Synaptic plasticity.
His Ventral tegmental area research incorporates themes from Glutamatergic, Neuron, G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel, gamma-Aminobutyric acid and GABAB receptor.
His Addiction study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Disease, Drug and Anxiety.
