Overview

Craig Weiss is affiliated with Northwestern University in the United States, specializing in research across neuroscience and medicine. Their body of work spans several subfields, including neurology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, physiology, and cognitive neuroscience.

Their research addresses a variety of topics, primarily focusing on neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration mechanisms, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, and traumatic brain injury and neurovascular disturbances. Additional areas of interest include S100 proteins and annexins, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, neurological disease mechanisms and treatments, and anesthesia and neurotoxicity research.

Weiss has published in multiple scientific venues. Frequent publication venues include:

  • Shock
  • Alzheimer s & Dementia Translational Research & Clinical Interventions
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Journal of Neuroscience
  • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Some recent papers authored in collaboration with other researchers include:

  • Intrinsic Excitability Increase in Cerebellar Purkinje Cells after Delay Eye-Blink Conditioning in Mice, 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Cognitive aging is associated with redistribution of synaptic weights in the hippocampus, 2021, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Differential neuropathology and functional outcome after equivalent traumatic brain injury in aged versus young adult mice, 2021, Experimental Neurology
