- Effects of electroconvulsive seizures and antidepressant drugs on brain-derived neurotrophic factor protein in rat brain (261 citations)
- The impact of maternal separation on adult mouse behaviour and on the total neuron number in the mouse hippocampus (124 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Gitta Wörtwein mainly investigates Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Dopamine and Pharmacology.
The various areas that Gitta Wörtwein examines in her Endocrinology study include Neuropeptide and Neuropeptide Y receptor.
Her work on Neuroscience deals in particular with Hippocampus, Hippocampal formation, Prefrontal cortex, Central nervous system and Neural substrate.
Her Hippocampus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Antidepressant and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Conditioned place preference, Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4, Receptor and Addiction in addition to Pharmacology.

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Dopamine and Receptor.
As part of her studies on Dopamine, Gitta Wörtwein frequently links adjacent subjects like Addiction.
Her study in Receptor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alcohol, Pharmacology and Alpha-synuclein.
Her Pharmacology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Low dose, Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor and Conditioned place preference.
The concepts of her Corticosterone study are interwoven with issues in Hippocampus, Glucocorticoid receptor and Excretion.
Gitta Wörtwein has included themes like Neurogenesis, Granule cell, Hippocampal formation, Electroconvulsive therapy and Major depressive disorder in her Stimulation study.
Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- The glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist exendin-4 reduces cocaine self-administration in mice (57 citations)
- Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor activation regulates cocaine actions and dopamine homeostasis in the lateral septum by decreasing arachidonic acid levels (36 citations)
- The glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist Exendin-4 decreases relapse-like drinking in socially housed mice (29 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Dopamine
