Overview

Julie C. Lauterborn is affiliated with the University of California, Irvine in the United States and has a research profile centered on the fields of neuroscience and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work extends into several subfields, notably cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, physiology, and genetics.

The main topics of their research cover neuroscience and neuropharmacology, memory and neural mechanisms, neural dynamics and brain function, receptor mechanisms and signaling, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, retinal development and disorders, and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors study.

They have contributed to a variety of peer-reviewed publications in collaboration with several frequent co-authors, including Gary Lynch, Aliza A. Le, Christine M. Gall, Conor D. Cox, and Yousheng Jia.

Notable recent papers authored or coauthored by Julie C. Lauterborn include:

  • Increased excitatory to inhibitory synaptic ratio in parietal cortex samples from individuals with Alzheimer's disease, 2021, Nature Communications
  • Functional excitatory to inhibitory synaptic imbalance and loss of cognitive performance in people with Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change, 2022, Acta Neuropathologica
  • Prepubescent female rodents have enhanced hippocampal LTP and learning relative to males, reversing in adulthood as inhibition increases, 2022, Nature Neuroscience
  • Rapid Aging in the Perforant Path Projections to the Rodent Dentate Gyrus, 2021, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Novel types of frequency filtering in the lateral perforant path projections to dentate gyrus, 2022, The Journal of Physiology

Julie C. Lauterborn has frequently published in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), the Journal of Neuroscience, Nature Communications, Acta Neuropathologica, and Nature Neuroscience. The volume of their publications is notable in bioRxiv with six contributions, and they have three papers in the Journal of Neuroscience.

Their research largely explores the synaptic mechanisms and neural circuit dynamics underlying cognitive function and neurological conditions, with a clear interest in Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative processes. The studies encompass cellular and molecular approaches to understanding excitatory to inhibitory synaptic balance, memory mechanisms, and neural signaling pathways.
