Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

Friedbert Weiss mainly investigates Dopamine, Microdialysis, Neuroscience, Self-administration and Pharmacology. His Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neurochemical, Reward system and Serotonin. His studies link Nucleus accumbens with Microdialysis.

His study in Self-administration is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Extinction, Liquid diet and Kindling. He has included themes like Glutamate receptor, Metabotropic glutamate receptor, Naltrexone and Opiate in his Pharmacology study. His study looks at the intersection of Internal medicine and topics like Ethanol with Saccharin.

His most cited work include:

  • The dopamine hypothesis of reward: past and current status (858 citations)
  • Oral alcohol self-administration stimulates dopamine release in the rat nucleus accumbens: genetic and motivational determinants. (690 citations)
  • Animal models of drug craving (518 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pharmacology, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Self-administration and Dopamine. His Pharmacology research includes themes of Ethanol, Nociceptin receptor and Agonist, Receptor, Antagonist. His Ethanol study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Alcohol, Anesthesia and Saccharin.

As a part of the same scientific study, Friedbert Weiss usually deals with the Self-administration, concentrating on Extinction and frequently concerns with Addiction, Craving and Thalamus. His works in Nucleus accumbens and Microdialysis are all subjects of inquiry into Dopamine. Nucleus accumbens is a subfield of Neuroscience that he investigates.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pharmacology (36.99%)
  • Internal medicine (32.88%)
  • Endocrinology (31.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Pharmacology (36.99%)
  • Addiction (19.86%)
  • Self-administration (30.14%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pharmacology, Addiction, Self-administration, Nociceptin receptor and Neuroscience. While the research belongs to areas of Addiction, Friedbert Weiss spends his time largely on the problem of Internal medicine, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Anxiety. His Self-administration study combines topics in areas such as Ethanol, Alcohol and Antagonist.

His Nociceptin receptor research integrates issues from Agonist, Alcohol abuse, Treatment targets and Nucleus accumbens. His Nucleus accumbens study is concerned with the larger field of Dopamine. The Engram and Extinction research Friedbert Weiss does as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Infralimbic cortex, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Unique treatment potential of cannabidiol for the prevention of relapse to drug use: preclinical proof of principle (54 citations)
  • Blockade of hypocretin receptor-1 preferentially prevents cocaine seeking: comparison with natural reward seeking. (45 citations)
  • N-(2-methyl-6-benzoxazolyl)-N'-1,5-naphthyridin-4-yl urea (SB334867), a hypocretin receptor-1 antagonist, preferentially prevents ethanol seeking: comparison with natural reward seeking. (43 citations)

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

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience

His main research concerns Self-administration, Pharmacology, Antagonist, Nociceptin receptor and Agonist. His Self-administration research incorporates themes from Saccharin, Stimulus control, Developmental psychology, HYPOCRETIN RECEPTOR 1 and Neuropeptide. His Pharmacology research incorporates elements of Ethanol, Analysis of variance and Urea.

His research in Antagonist intersects with topics in Orexin receptor and Orexin. His work carried out in the field of Nociceptin receptor brings together such families of science as NOP and Nucleus accumbens, Brain stimulation reward. His Internal medicine research includes elements of Craving and Anxiety.
