Overview

Claudia A. Grillo is affiliated with the University of South Carolina in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience and medicine. Their research primarily focuses on areas including regulation of appetite and obesity, adipose tissue and metabolism, and the mechanisms underlying neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.

Their recent publications cover topics such as the impact of diet on brain function, behavioral effects of insulin resistance, and the influence of cholinergic pathways in neuroinflammation. Notable papers include:

  • High-fat diet induces neuroinflammation and reduces the serotonergic response to escitalopram in the hippocampus of obese rats (2021, Brain Behavior and Immunity)
  • Hippocampal-specific insulin resistance elicits behavioral despair and hippocampal dendritic atrophy (2021, Neurobiology of Stress)
  • Pyridostigmine bromide elicits progressive and chronic impairments in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of male rats (2022, Neurobiology of Stress)
  • Differential effects of high-fat diet on endocrine, metabolic and depressive-like behaviors in male and female rats (2024, Appetite)
  • Voluntary wheel running as a promising strategy to promote autonomic resilience to social stress in females: Vagal tone lies at the heart of the matter (2024, Autonomic Neuroscience)

Their work spans several important subfields of study such as endocrine and autonomic systems, physiology, neurology, nutrition and dietetics, and molecular biology. These areas support their focus on the biochemical and physiological pathways influencing metabolic and neurological health.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Claudia A. Grillo include Lawrence P. Reagan, J.L. Woodruff, Nicholas Maxwell, Alia T. Sadek, and Jim R. Fadel. This reflects a multidisciplinary approach crossing various aspects of neuroscience and medicine.

Their research has been published repeatedly in several scientific journals, with common publication venues being:

  • Brain Behavior and Immunity
  • Neurobiology of Stress
  • Journal of Neurochemistry
  • Alzheimer's & Dementia
  • Appetite

Overall, their scientific contributions provide insights into the complex interactions between diet, metabolism, and brain function, with a detailed emphasis on neuroinflammation, stress responses, and receptor-level signaling pathways. Their multidisciplinary research integrates molecular biology techniques with physiological studies to explore how systemic and neurological factors contribute to health and disease.
