Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

James W. Grau mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Shock, Spinal cord, Anesthesia and Nociception. His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, Long-term potentiation and Classical conditioning. His Shock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Instrumental learning, Thermal stimulation and Pain perception.

His work deals with themes such as Stimulation, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Allodynia, which intersect with Spinal cord. His research in Anesthesia focuses on subjects like Opiate, which are connected to Antagonist. He integrates Nociception with Radiant heat in his study.

His most cited work include:

  • Long-term stress-induced analgesia and activation of the opiate system. (245 citations)
  • Opiate antagonists and long-term analgesic reaction induced by inescapable shock in rats. (166 citations)
  • Controllability, coping behavior, and stress-induced analgesia in the rat. (121 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Spinal cord, Nociception, Spinal cord injury and Shock. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hindlimb and Classical conditioning. He has researched Spinal cord in several fields, including Instrumental learning, Lumbar and Synaptic plasticity.

The Nociception study combines topics in areas such as Threshold of pain and Sensitization. His Spinal cord injury study also includes fields such as

  • Anesthesia together with Opiate, -Naloxone and Pharmacology,
  • NMDA receptor, which have a strong connection to Glutamate receptor. The various areas that he examines in his Shock study include Endocrinology, Learned helplessness and Opioid, Naltrexone.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (64.71%)
  • Spinal cord (37.82%)
  • Nociception (36.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Spinal cord injury (35.29%)
  • Neuroscience (64.71%)
  • Nociception (36.97%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Spinal cord injury, Neuroscience, Nociception, Spinal cord and Stimulation. His Spinal cord injury research focuses on Anesthesia and how it relates to Polytrauma. His Neuroscience study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Synaptic plasticity and Neurotrophic factors.

His Nociception research integrates issues from Pharmacology and Sensitization. His work carried out in the field of Spinal cord brings together such families of science as AMPA receptor, Lumbar and Metaplasticity, Synaptic scaling. His study in Stimulation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chronic pain, Noxious stimulus, Central nervous system and Shock.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Acute spinal cord injury (SCI) transforms how GABA affects nociceptive sensitization. (23 citations)
  • Complete spinal cord injury (SCI) transforms how brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) affects nociceptive sensitization (18 citations)
  • When Pain Hurts: Nociceptive Stimulation Induces a State of Maladaptive Plasticity and Impairs Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury (17 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron

James W. Grau mostly deals with Neuroscience, Spinal cord injury, Nociception, Sensitization and Allodynia. The study incorporates disciplines such as Neurotrophic factors and Bicuculline in addition to Neuroscience. His Neurotrophic factors research includes elements of Endocrinology and Noxious stimulus.

Spinal cord injury is closely attributed to Synaptic plasticity in his study. His Neuroplasticity research includes themes of Lumbar, Anatomy, Stimulation, Chronic pain and Interneuron. His Spinal cord study combines topics in areas such as AMPA receptor, Synaptic augmentation, Synaptic scaling and Synaptic fatigue.
