Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Supraoptic nucleus, Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Oxytocin. His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Synaptic plasticity, NMDA receptor and Neurotransmission. The Neurotransmission study combines topics in areas such as Glutamate receptor, GABAergic and Astrocyte.

His is doing research in Hypothalamus and Apposition, both of which are found in Internal medicine. Dominique A. Poulain interconnects Neuropil and Nucleus in the investigation of issues within Hypothalamus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stimulation and Vasopressin.

His most cited work include:

  • Electrophysiology of hypothalamic magnocellular neurones secreting oxytocin and vasopressin (716 citations)
  • Glia-Derived d-Serine Controls NMDA Receptor Activity and Synaptic Memory (690 citations)
  • Control of glutamate clearance and synaptic efficacy by glial coverage of neurons. (517 citations)

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

Dominique A. Poulain focuses on Neuroscience, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Oxytocin and Supraoptic nucleus. His studies in Neuroscience integrate themes in fields like Synaptic plasticity, Glutamate receptor, Glutamatergic, Neurotransmission and Neural cell adhesion molecule. His work on Stimulation, Electrophysiology, Reflex and GABAA receptor as part of general Internal medicine research is frequently linked to Milk ejection reflex, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Dominique A. Poulain has included themes like Neuropeptide, Hypothalamus and Vasopressin in his Oxytocin study. His Hypothalamus research includes elements of Neuropil, Nucleus and Nervous system. His study on Supraoptic nucleus also encompasses disciplines like

  • Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, which have a strong connection to Dopaminergic,
  • Neuroglia and related Astrocyte.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (60.00%)
  • Internal medicine (51.11%)
  • Endocrinology (51.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2014)?

  • Neuroscience (60.00%)
  • Supraoptic nucleus (47.78%)
  • Oxytocin (47.78%)

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

Dominique A. Poulain spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Supraoptic nucleus, Oxytocin, Glutamate receptor and Synaptic plasticity. His research integrates issues of Glutamatergic, Neurotransmission and Metabotropic glutamate receptor in his study of Neuroscience. He has researched Oxytocin in several fields, including Hypothalamus and Vasopressin.

The various areas that Dominique A. Poulain examines in his Vasopressin study include Cell and Cell biology. As a part of the same scientific family, Dominique A. Poulain mostly works in the field of Glutamate receptor, focusing on Neuroglia and, on occasion, Calcium signaling and Receptor. His Synaptic plasticity research includes themes of Synapse and Oxytocin receptor.

Between 1999 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Glia-Derived d-Serine Controls NMDA Receptor Activity and Synaptic Memory (690 citations)
  • Control of glutamate clearance and synaptic efficacy by glial coverage of neurons. (517 citations)
  • Activity-Dependent Structural and Functional Plasticity of Astrocyte-Neuron Interactions (395 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

Dominique A. Poulain mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Neurotransmission, Synaptic plasticity, Neuron and Glutamate receptor. Many of his studies on Neuroscience involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Glutamatergic. His Synaptic plasticity research incorporates elements of AMPA receptor and Anatomy.

He combines subjects such as Extracellular, Polysialic acid, Neural cell adhesion molecule, Cell adhesion molecule and Membrane potential with his study of Neuron. The study incorporates disciplines such as Extracellular matrix and Cell biology in addition to Glutamate receptor. His research in Oxytocin intersects with topics in Hypothalamus, Synapse, Vasopressin and Vibratome.
