Overview

Gary E. Duncan is affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States. Their research spans multiple areas within neuroscience and related fields, focusing particularly on molecular and behavioral aspects of brain function.

The scientist has contributed to studies involving dopamine receptor activity, NMDA receptor function, and behavioral responses relevant to neurological and psychiatric conditions. Notable recent publications include:

  • 6-Hydroxydopamine Treatments Enhance Behavioral Responses to Intracerebral Microinjection of D1- and D2-Dopamine Agonists into Nucleus Accumbens and Striatum Without Changing Dopamine Antagonist Binding (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Increased sensitivity to kainic acid in a genetic model of reduced NMDA receptor function (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Seizure responses and induction of Fos by the NMDA Agonist (tetrazol-5-yl)glycine in a genetic model of NMDA receptor hypofunction (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Neural activation deficits in a mouse genetic model of NMDA receptor hypofunction in tests of social aggression and swim stress (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Development of a mouse test for repetitive, restricted behaviors: Relevance to autism (2020, UNC Libraries)

Duncan has collaborated frequently with researchers such as Beverly H. Koller, Sheryl S. Moy, Ken Inada, Joseph Farrington, and George R. Breese. These collaborations reflect interdisciplinary approaches within molecular biology and neuroscience.

Their work covers diverse topics including:

  • Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry Studies
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Stress Responses and Cortisol
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder Research

The research fields associated with the scientist include Molecular Biology, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Cognitive Neuroscience. These subfields highlight a focus on understanding brain mechanisms at both molecular and behavioral levels.

Duncan predominantly publishes in venues such as the UNC Libraries, which has hosted six of their publications. This affiliation suggests a focus on institutional-level repositories and contributions to accessible academic resources.
