Overview

Jeffrey G. Tasker is affiliated with Tulane University in the United States. Their research spans multiple areas within neuroscience and psychology, contributing to both fields through numerous publications. Tasker's work primarily focuses on neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, with additional interests in stress responses and cortisol, receptor mechanisms and signaling, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, circadian rhythm and melatonin, memory and neural mechanisms, and the neuroscience of respiration and sleep.

Tasker has published extensively in several academic venues. Frequently publishing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), they have also contributed to the Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Nature, Nature Communications, and Cell Reports. Their work is well represented across these platforms, indicating an active engagement with both preprints and peer-reviewed journals.

Some of the recent papers authored or co-authored by Tasker include:

  • "Somato-dendritic vasopressin and oxytocin secretion in endocrine and autonomic regulation" (2020, Journal of Neuroendocrinology)
