Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuron

His primary areas of study are Neurotrophic factors, Neuroscience, Tropomyosin receptor kinase B, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Endocrinology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Hippocampal formation and Hippocampus in addition to Neurotrophic factors. His research integrates issues of Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation and Neurotrophin in his study of Neuroscience.

His work carried out in the field of Tropomyosin receptor kinase B brings together such families of science as Tropomyosin receptor kinase A, Neuroprotection, In situ hybridization and Cell biology. His Brain-derived neurotrophic factor research incorporates elements of Glutamatergic, Cholinergic neuron, Visual cortex and Nerve growth factor. His Endocrinology research includes elements of Internal medicine, Neurotrophin-3 and Binding site.

His most cited work include:

  • The antidepressant fluoxetine restores plasticity in the adult visual cortex. (689 citations)
  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and antidepressant drugs have different but coordinated effects on neuronal turnover, proliferation, and survival in the adult dentate gyrus. (646 citations)
  • Activation of the TrkB Neurotrophin Receptor Is Induced by Antidepressant Drugs and Is Required for Antidepressant-Induced Behavioral Effects (634 citations)

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

Eero Castrén mostly deals with Neuroscience, Tropomyosin receptor kinase B, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Neurotrophic factors. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Synaptic plasticity and Long-term potentiation. His research in Tropomyosin receptor kinase B focuses on subjects like Neurotrophin, which are connected to Phosphorylation and CREB.

As part of the same scientific family, Eero Castrén usually focuses on Endocrinology, concentrating on NMDA receptor and intersecting with Antagonist. Eero Castrén mostly deals with Brain-derived neurotrophic factor in his studies of Neurotrophic factors. His Antidepressant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fluoxetine and Pharmacology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (40.53%)
  • Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (39.20%)
  • Internal medicine (33.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Tropomyosin receptor kinase B (39.20%)
  • Neuroscience (40.53%)
  • Receptor (16.28%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Tropomyosin receptor kinase B, Neuroscience, Receptor, Antidepressant and Neurotrophic factors. His study with Tropomyosin receptor kinase B involves better knowledge in Internal medicine. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Anesthetic and Synaptogenesis.

His Receptor research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dopaminergic and Zebrafish. His Antidepressant research incorporates themes from Fluoxetine and Pharmacology. Eero Castrén frequently studies issues relating to Cell nucleus and Neurotrophic factors.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • iPlasticity: Induced juvenile-like plasticity in the adult brain as a mechanism of antidepressants. (27 citations)
  • Social Learning Requires Plasticity Enhanced by Fluoxetine Through Prefrontal Bdnf-TrkB Signaling to Limit Aggression Induced by Post-Weaning Social Isolation. (25 citations)
  • Antidepressant-like effect of losartan involves TRKB transactivation from angiotensin receptor type 2 (AGTR2) and recruitment of FYN (23 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Tropomyosin receptor kinase B, Neuroplasticity, Neurotrophin and Receptor. His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Aggression and Social isolation. His Tropomyosin receptor kinase B study improves the overall literature in Neurotrophic factors.

His study in Neuroplasticity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ocular dominance, Prefrontal cortex and Parvalbumin. His Prefrontal cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dentate gyrus, Long-term potentiation, Neurogenesis and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Eero Castrén has included themes like Endocrinology and Internal medicine in his Somatosensory system study.
