Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Dopamine
  • Neurotransmitter

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Nucleus accumbens, Addiction, Pharmacology and Epigenetics of cocaine addiction. His research on Neuroscience frequently links to adjacent areas such as Downregulation and upregulation. His Nucleus accumbens research incorporates themes from Neurotrophic factors and FOSB.

His study on Addiction also encompasses disciplines like

  • Dopamine receptor that connect with fields like Dopamine receptor D2,
  • Drug that intertwine with fields like Genetically modified mouse. His Morphine study, which is part of a larger body of work in Pharmacology, is frequently linked to Granule cell, bridging the gap between disciplines. The various areas that he examines in his Social defeat study include Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, Phenotype, Psychopathology and Brain stimulation reward.

His most cited work include:

  • Essential Role of BDNF in the Mesolimbic Dopamine Pathway in Social Defeat Stress (1543 citations)
  • Molecular Adaptations Underlying Susceptibility and Resistance to Social Defeat in Brain Reward Regions (1401 citations)
  • Chromatin remodeling is a key mechanism underlying cocaine-induced plasticity in striatum (647 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Nucleus accumbens, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Endocrinology and Internal medicine are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Extinction, Ventral tegmental area, Addiction and Striatum. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Receptor and Drug.

His Pharmacology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agonist, AMPA receptor, Dopamine receptor D2 and Nicotine. His Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, Self-administration, CREB and Protein kinase A. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Small hairpin RNA, Gene knockdown, Immediate early gene and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nucleus accumbens (49.49%)

  • Neuroscience (47.47%)
  • Pharmacology (36.36%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Nucleus accumbens, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Chemistry and Dopamine receptor. His work is dedicated to discovering how Nucleus accumbens, Self-administration are connected with Addiction and other disciplines. His research on Neuroscience often connects related topics like Receptor.

His work carried out in the field of Pharmacology brings together such families of science as Ventral tegmental area and Dopamine. His Dopamine receptor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as CLOCK Proteins and Circadian rhythm. His Endocrinology research includes themes of Extinction and Gene knockdown.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • ΔFosB Induction in Striatal Medium Spiny Neuron Subtypes in Response to Chronic Pharmacological, Emotional, and Optogenetic Stimuli (157 citations)
  • Direct Regulation of Diurnal Drd3 Expression and Cocaine Reward by NPAS2 (49 citations)
  • HDAC5 and Its Target Gene, Npas4, Function in the Nucleus Accumbens to Regulate Cocaine-Conditioned Behaviors. (47 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Dopamine
  • Neurotransmitter

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nucleus accumbens, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Endocrinology and Dopamine receptor. His research in Nucleus accumbens intersects with topics in Striatum, Small hairpin RNA, Epigenetics and Drug. His work deals with themes such as Ventral tegmental area, Hippocampus and Amygdala, which intersect with Striatum.

The Epigenetics study combines topics in areas such as Self-administration, Brain stimulation reward and Anxiety. His Drug study combines topics in areas such as Conditioned place preference, Histone deacetylase, Histone deacetylase 5, Epigenetics of cocaine addiction and Enhancer. His Endocrinology study typically links adjacent topics like Internal medicine.
