Overview

Jacques Glowinski was affiliated with the Collège de France in France and contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience and medicine. Their research primarily focused on cellular and molecular neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, and neurology, with additional work in molecular biology and pharmacology.

Throughout their career, Jacques Glowinski explored topics such as:

  • Neuroscience and neuropharmacology research
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Neuroscience and neural engineering
  • Neurological disorders and treatments
  • Receptor mechanisms and signaling
  • Cannabis and cannabinoid research
  • Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments

Their recent publications spanned various important journals and covered diverse research areas within neuroscience. Notable papers included:

  • "Deep brain stimulation-guided optogenetic rescue of parkinsonian symptoms," 2020, published in Nature Communications
  • "Circulating Triglycerides Gate Dopamine-Associated Behaviors through DRD2-Expressing Neurons," 2020, in Cell Metabolism
  • "Lactate supply overtakes glucose when neural computational and cognitive loads scale up," 2022, in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • "Lights on Endocannabinoid-Mediated Synaptic Potentiation," 2020, in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
  • "Npas4 regulates medium spiny neuron physiology and gates cocaine-induced hyperlocomotion," 2021, in EMBO Reports

Jacques Glowinski frequently published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), L'annuaire du Collège de France, Nature Communications, Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, and Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience.

Their co-authorship network included ongoing collaborations with:

  • Charlotte Piette
  • Sylvie Pérez
  • Jonathan Touboul
  • Marie Vandecasteele
  • Bertrand Degos

During their lifetime, Jacques Glowinski received several distinctions including:

  • Grand prix de l'Inserm - Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale, 2005
  • Member of Academia Europaea, 1989
  • Richard Lounsbery Award from the National Academy of Sciences and the French Academy of Sciences, 1986, for fundamental work contributing to the treatment of parasitic and neurological diseases
  • Membership of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
