Overview

Claudio Rivera is affiliated with the University of Helsinki in Finland. Their research primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, with substantial contributions in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, Neurology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Physiology.

Rivera's work covers multiple main topics, including Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration Mechanisms, Ion Channel Regulation and Function, Neural Dynamics and Brain Function, Memory and Neural Mechanisms, Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity Mechanisms, as well as Adipose Tissue and Metabolism.

The scientist has published research in notable venues with repeated contributions in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), SSRN Electronic Journal, Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, and Scientific Reports. Their frequent collaborators include Christophe Pellegrino, Jérôme Laurin, Anastasia Ludwig, Florence Molinari, and Stanislav Khirug, each co-authoring multiple papers with Rivera.

Recent published papers demonstrate a focus on neuroplasticity, cortical plasticity, and neurological disorders. Selected examples are:

  • Is High-Intensity Interval Training Suitable to Promote Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Functions after Stroke? (2021) published in International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • Pharmacological and optical activation of TrkB in Parvalbumin interneurons regulate intrinsic states to orchestrate cortical plasticity (2021) published in Molecular Psychiatry
  • Contribution of astrocytes to familial risk and clinical manifestation of schizophrenia (2021) published in Glia
  • Dominant mutations in ITPR3 cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (2020) published in Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
  • Time-dependent cortical plasticity during moderate-intensity continuous training versus high-intensity interval training in rats (2021) published in Cerebral Cortex
