Overview

David J. Bucci was affiliated with Dartmouth College in the United States. Their research contributed extensively to the field of neuroscience, with a focus on cognitive and behavioral aspects. The primary fields of study they worked in included Neuroscience, Cognitive Neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience, Social Psychology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, and Biological Psychiatry.

The main topics covered in their research concerned Memory and Neural Mechanisms, Stress Responses and Cortisol, Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, Tryptophan and brain disorders, Spatial Cognition and Navigation, as well as Anesthesia and Neurotoxicity Research.

David J. Bucci's publication record includes several articles published mainly in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience, along with contributions to Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, European Journal of Neuroscience, UNC Libraries, and Psychopharmacology.

  • Contributions of postrhinal and perirhinal cortex to contextual information processing, 2021, Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Spatial learning in male and female Long-Evans rats, 2021, Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Dreadds: Use and application in behavioral neuroscience, 2021, Behavioral Neuroscience (coauthor: Kyle S. Smith)
  • Stress-induced impairment in fear discrimination is causally related to increased kynurenic acid formation in the prefrontal cortex, 2020, Psychopharmacology (coauthor: Alex Klausing)
  • Retrosplenial cortex damage impairs unimodal sensory preconditioning, 2020, Behavioral Neuroscience (coauthor: Danielle I. Fournier)

Frequent collaborators in their work included Travis P. Todd, Danielle I. Fournier, Michela Gallagher, Nicole E. DeAngeli, and Rebecca D. Burwell.

The volume of publications in their favored venues reflected a focus on Behavioral Neuroscience, with eight publications, followed by two each in Neurobiology of Learning and Memory and European Journal of Neuroscience. Additional work appeared in UNC Libraries and Psychopharmacology.
