  • 1971 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Eric D. Young is affiliated with Johns Hopkins University in the United States. Their research focuses primarily on neuroscience, with a specialization in sensory systems, cognitive neuroscience, biomedical engineering, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and nutrition and dietetics. The main topics of their work include hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics, biochemical analysis and sensing techniques, hearing loss and rehabilitation, acoustic wave phenomena research, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, RNA regulation and disease, and neuroendocrine tumor research advances.

The scientist has contributed to several recent papers, which reflect an emphasis on auditory systems and synaptic mechanisms. These include:

  • Functional subgroups of cochlear inner hair cell ribbon synapses differently modulate their EPSC properties in response to stimulation (2021) published in Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Resolution of subcomponents of synaptic release from postsynaptic currents in rat hair-cell/auditory-nerve fiber synapses (2021) published in Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Auditory Hair Cells and Spiral Ganglion Neurons Regenerate Synapses with Refined Release Properties In Vitro (2023) published in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Auditory hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons regenerate synapses with refined release properties in vitro (2024) published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Resolution of subcomponents of synaptic release from post-synaptic currents in rat hair-cell/auditory-nerve fiber synapses (2020) published in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Frequent co-authors in Eric D. Young's work include Elisabeth Glowatzki, Mamiko Niwa, Sherry Jingjing Wu, Philippe Vincent, and Albert S.B. Edge. These collaborations have resulted in multiple joint publications that often explore auditory neuroscience topics.

The scientist's works are commonly published in venues such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Eric D. Young was awarded the title of Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1971.
