What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Dopamine
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Amphetamine, Dopamine, Addiction and Pharmacology.
His Neuroscience research integrates issues from Developmental psychology and Anatomy.
His Amphetamine study incorporates themes from Methylphenidate and Sensitization.
His Addiction research incorporates themes from Drug, Compulsive behavior, Impulsivity, Clinical psychology and Nicotine.
His work on Morphine and Self-administration as part of general Pharmacology study is frequently linked to Papaver, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
He interconnects Basal ganglia and Prefrontal cortex in the investigation of issues within Nucleus accumbens.
His most cited work include:
- Alterations in dopaminergic and glutamatergic transmission in the induction and expression of behavioral sensitization: a critical review of preclinical studies. (1194 citations)
- Putting a spin on the dorsal–ventral divide of the striatum (948 citations)
- Drug Seeking Becomes Compulsive After Prolonged Cocaine Self-Administration (590 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Neuroscience, Addiction, Dopamine, Nucleus accumbens and Pharmacology are his primary areas of study.
His study in Endocannabinoid system extends to Neuroscience with its themes.
Louk J. M. J. Vanderschuren combines subjects such as Self-administration, Developmental psychology, Extinction, Clinical psychology and Drug with his study of Addiction.
As part of the same scientific family, Louk J. M. J. Vanderschuren usually focuses on Dopamine, concentrating on Dopamine reuptake inhibitor and intersecting with Methylphenidate.
Internal medicine and Endocrinology are closely tied to his Nucleus accumbens research.
His Pharmacology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Amphetamine, Antagonist, Cannabinoid and Sensitization.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (40.51%)
- Addiction (21.94%)
- Dopamine (20.25%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Neuroscience (40.51%)
- Addiction (21.94%)
- Prefrontal cortex (8.86%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Addiction, Prefrontal cortex, Dopamine and Behavioural pharmacology.
His research combines Punishment and Neuroscience.
Louk J. M. J. Vanderschuren has researched Addiction in several fields, including Treatment options, Self-administration, Drug and Inhibitory control.
His Prefrontal cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Basolateral amygdala, Amygdala and Substance use.
His study in Dopamine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chemogenetics, Social behavior and Sensitization.
His study on Behavioural pharmacology also encompasses disciplines like
- Cognitive science that connect with fields like Behavior change and Brain disease,
- Stress-related disorders which is related to area like Clinical psychology.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Healthy play, better coping : The importance of play for the development of children in health and disease (39 citations)
- Combined fetal inflammation and postnatal hypoxia causes myelin deficits and autism-like behavior in a rat model of diffuse white matter injury (38 citations)
- A neuronal mechanism underlying decision-making deficits during hyperdopaminergic states. (27 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Dopamine
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
Louk J. M. J. Vanderschuren focuses on Neuroscience, Prefrontal cortex, Dopamine, Ventral striatum and Addiction.
Neuropharmacology is the focus of his Neuroscience research.
The concepts of his Prefrontal cortex study are interwoven with issues in Cognitive psychology and Punishment.
His Dopamine study focuses mostly on Ventral tegmental area, Dopaminergic and Nucleus accumbens.
His studies in Addiction integrate themes in fields like Stimulus, Neuron, Premovement neuronal activity and Substantia nigra.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Dopamine receptor, Dopamine receptor D2, Dopamine receptor D1, Stimulation and Amygdala in addition to Striatum.
