Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Synaptic plasticity, Long-term potentiation, Neuroscience, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Postsynaptic potential. The study of Synaptic plasticity is intertwined with the study of Long-term depression in a number of ways. Her Long-term potentiation study frequently involves adjacent topics like Neuroplasticity.

Her research investigates the connection between Excitatory postsynaptic potential and topics such as Neurotransmission that intersect with issues in NMDA receptor. Her studies in Postsynaptic potential integrate themes in fields like Glutamate receptor and Cell biology. Her Central nervous system study combines topics in areas such as Memoria and Addiction.

Her most cited work include:

  • Synaptic plasticity and addiction (1009 citations)
  • An essential role for postsynaptic calmodulin and protein kinase activity in long-term potentiation (910 citations)
  • Functional comparison of neurotransmitter receptor subtypes in mammalian central nervous system (711 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Synaptic plasticity, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Ventral tegmental area. Her Neuroscience study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Neurotransmission. Her Long-term potentiation research integrates issues from Postsynaptic potential, NMDA receptor, AMPA receptor, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Cell biology.

The various areas that Julie A. Kauer examines in her Synaptic plasticity study include Glutamatergic and Pharmacology. Her Excitatory postsynaptic potential study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as TRPV1 and Protein kinase A. Her Ventral tegmental area course of study focuses on Addiction and Drug, Clinical psychology, Neuroplasticity and Central nervous system.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (75.61%)
  • Long-term potentiation (47.56%)
  • Synaptic plasticity (41.46%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (75.61%)
  • Ventral tegmental area (24.39%)
  • Long-term potentiation (47.56%)

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

Her main research concerns Neuroscience, Ventral tegmental area, Long-term potentiation, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Synaptic plasticity. She has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Nociceptor and Postsynaptic potential. Her research in Ventral tegmental area intersects with topics in Receptor and κ-opioid receptor.

Her work on Inhibitory postsynaptic potential is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as NMDA receptor. Her work deals with themes such as Synapse and Excitatory postsynaptic potential, which intersect with Synaptic plasticity. Her studies deal with areas such as Neurotransmission, Neural facilitation, Hippocampal formation, Nervous system and Long-term depression as well as Synapse.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Synaptic function and plasticity in identified inhibitory inputs onto VTA dopamine neurons. (23 citations)
  • Constitutive activation of kappa opioid receptors at ventral tegmental area inhibitory synapses following acute stress. (22 citations)
  • Periaqueductal Gray and Rostromedial Tegmental Inhibitory Afferents to VTA Have Distinct Synaptic Plasticity and Opiate Sensitivity (7 citations)

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

  • Neuron
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Long-term potentiation, Synaptic plasticity, Dopamine and Ventral tegmental area. Her Neuroscience research focuses on Rostromedial tegmental nucleus, Synapse, Dopaminergic, Periaqueductal gray and Craving. Her Rostromedial tegmental nucleus research includes elements of GABAergic and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

Her Synapse research includes themes of Postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Neural facilitation, Nervous system and Hippocampal formation. As part of her studies on Dopaminergic, Julie A. Kauer often connects relevant subjects like Neuron. The study incorporates disciplines such as Receptor, κ-opioid receptor and Pharmacology in addition to Craving.
