Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Dopamine

George R. Uhl mainly investigates Genetics, Dopamine transporter, Pharmacology, Dopamine and Internal medicine. Research on Dopaminergic and Neuroscience is a part of his Dopamine transporter study. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Monoamine neurotransmitter and Cell biology.

His Pharmacology research incorporates elements of Agonist, Receptor, Glutamate receptor, Knockout mouse and Substance abuse. George R. Uhl has researched Dopamine in several fields, including Biochemistry and Reuptake, Serotonin. His work in Internal medicine addresses issues such as Endocrinology, which are connected to fields such as Neurotrophic factors.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanisms of nitric oxide-mediated neurotoxicity in primary brain cultures (959 citations)
  • Human dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) maps to chromosome 5p15.3 and displays a VNTR. (639 citations)
  • Cannabinoid CB2 receptors: Immunohistochemical localization in rat brain (633 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Dopamine transporter, Pharmacology, Endocrinology and Dopamine. George R. Uhl has begun a study into Dopamine transporter, looking into Dopaminergic, Neuroscience and Biochemistry. His Pharmacology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Receptor, Opioid receptor and Opioid.

His research in Endocrinology intersects with topics in Knockout mouse and Monoaminergic. His studies in Knockout mouse integrate themes in fields like Gene knockout and Conditioned place preference. His Dopamine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transporter, Neurotransmitter and Serotonin transporter, Monoamine neurotransmitter, Serotonin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (24.46%)
  • Dopamine transporter (24.77%)
  • Pharmacology (22.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (18.58%)
  • Addiction (13.93%)
  • Pharmacology (22.60%)

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

George R. Uhl focuses on Neuroscience, Addiction, Pharmacology, Methamphetamine and Knockout mouse. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Phenotype and Cell adhesion molecule. His research integrates issues of Histamine H3 receptor, Immepip, Toxicity and Serotonin in his study of Pharmacology.

His Knockout mouse study deals with the bigger picture of Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as Monoamine neurotransmitter and Methylphenidate, which intersect with Dopamine. His work focuses on many connections between Dopamine transporter and other disciplines, such as Stimulation, that overlap with his field of interest in Brain stimulation reward.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The neurobiology of addiction. (44 citations)
  • Smoking quit success genotype score predicts quit success and distinct patterns of developmental involvement with common addictive substances. (28 citations)
  • Reducing Aggression and Impulsivity Through School-based Prevention Programs: A Gene by Intervention Interaction (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Dopamine

His primary scientific interests are in Addiction, Neuroscience, Knockout mouse, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. His Addiction study incorporates themes from Young adult, Smoking cessation and Nicotine. His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell adhesion molecule, Substance abuse and RBFOX1.

As a part of the same scientific study, George R. Uhl usually deals with the Knockout mouse, concentrating on Conditioned place preference and frequently concerns with Gene knockout and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. George R. Uhl has researched Endocrinology in several fields, including Serotonin, Autism, Gene expression and Endophenotype. He is doing genetic studies as part of his Dopaminergic and Dopamine and Dopamine transporter investigations.
