Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Dopamine
  • Neurotransmitter
  • Internal medicine

Loren H. Parsons focuses on Pharmacology, Microdialysis, Dopamine, Nucleus accumbens and Neuroscience. His Pharmacology research integrates issues from Agonist, Cannabinoid and Abstinence. His Cannabinoid study incorporates themes from Anandamide, Cannabinoid receptor and Endocannabinoid system.

His research integrates issues of Extracellular and Serotonin in his study of Dopamine. His Nucleus accumbens research focuses on Self-administration and how it connects with Neurochemical and Kindling. His work carried out in the field of Neuroscience brings together such families of science as Synaptic plasticity and Glutamate receptor.

His most cited work include:

  • Dopamine activation of endogenous cannabinoid signaling in dorsal striatum (706 citations)
  • Selective blockade of 2-arachidonoylglycerol hydrolysis produces cannabinoid behavioral effects (688 citations)
  • Elevated anxiety and antidepressant-like responses in serotonin 5-HT1A receptor mutant mice (617 citations)

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

Loren H. Parsons mostly deals with Pharmacology, Dopamine, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Nucleus accumbens. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Agonist, Microdialysis, Cannabinoid and Endocannabinoid system. His Microdialysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ethanol and Quantitative analysis.

His Endocannabinoid system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Anandamide, Fatty acid amide hydrolase, Cannabinoid receptor and Neuroscience. The various areas that Loren H. Parsons examines in his Dopamine study include Glutamate receptor and Neurotransmitter. The concepts of his Nucleus accumbens study are interwoven with issues in Basal ganglia, Neurochemical, Abstinence and Serotonin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pharmacology (46.15%)
  • Dopamine (33.85%)
  • Internal medicine (31.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Pharmacology (46.15%)
  • Endocannabinoid system (22.31%)
  • Neuroscience (23.85%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Pharmacology, Endocannabinoid system, Neuroscience, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. His studies deal with areas such as Agonist, Cannabinoid, GABAergic, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Dopamine as well as Pharmacology. His Dopamine research includes themes of Basal ganglia and Nicotine.

His Endocannabinoid system study incorporates themes from Alcohol, Fatty acid amide hydrolase, Cannabinoid receptor and Amygdala. He is studying Addiction, which is a component of Neuroscience. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Endocrinology, Basolateral amygdala, Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor 1 and Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 is strongly linked to Glutamatergic.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Endocannabinoid signalling in reward and addiction. (224 citations)
  • Keep off the grass? Cannabis, cognition and addiction (173 citations)
  • Inhaled delivery of Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) to rats by e-cigarette vapor technology. (77 citations)

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

  • Dopamine
  • Internal medicine
  • Neurotransmitter

His main research concerns Pharmacology, Impulsivity, Addiction, Cognition and Cannabis. His study in Pharmacology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inhalation, Nucleus accumbens, Dopamine and Stimulation. His Impulsivity research integrates issues from Relapse prevention, Alcohol dependence, Cannabidiol and Oncology.

His Addiction study contributes to a more complete understanding of Neuroscience. Loren H. Parsons usually deals with Cognition and limits it to topics linked to Psychosis and Cannabinoid. His Cannabis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dronabinol, Animal studies, Nociception, Inhalation exposure and Route of administration.
