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)

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.
