  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Anxiety, Depression, Psychometrics, Treatment, Cognitive Processes
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Stress Responses and Cortisol

Ekrem Dere has contributed to research published in venues such as Behavioural Brain Research, Molecular Psychiatry, PLoS ONE, Reviews in the Neurosciences, and Psychopharmacology. Specific recent papers include:

  • The murine ortholog of Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome protein Ube3b regulates synapse number by ubiquitinating Ppp3cc (2020, Molecular Psychiatry)
  • Towards an animal model of consciousness based on the platform theory (2021, Behavioural Brain Research)
  • The role of self-efficacy in specific fears (2023, PLoS ONE)
  • Channels to consciousness: a possible role of gap junctions in consciousness (2020, Reviews in the Neurosciences)
  • Do oral contraceptives modulate the effects of stress induction on one-session exposure efficacy and generalization in women? (2023, Psychopharmacology)

Frequent collaborators in their research include Armin Zlomuzica, Laurin Plank, Annalisa Lipp, Friederike Raeder, and Iris Kodzaga. The collaboration with these co-authors reflects ongoing investigations across cognitive and behavioral neuroscience themes.
