Overview

Rainer Landgraf is affiliated with the Max Planck Society in Germany and conducts research primarily within the field of neuroscience. Their work spans several interconnected subfields, including biological psychiatry, behavioral neuroscience, and neurology.

The research topics addressed by Landgraf focus notably on tryptophan and brain disorders, stress responses and cortisol regulation, and mechanisms related to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. These themes reflect a concentration on the biochemical and physiological processes underlying brain function and dysfunction.

Landgraf's recent publication record includes the paper titled "Enhanced conditioning of adverse memories in the mouse modified swim test is associated with neuroinflammatory changes - Effects that are susceptible to antidepressants", published in 2020 in the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory.

  • Enhanced conditioning of adverse memories in the mouse modified swim test is associated with neuroinflammatory changes - Effects that are susceptible to antidepressants (2020, Neurobiology of Learning and Memory)

The scientist frequently collaborates with other researchers, including Dmitrii Pavlov, Anna Gorlova, Lucien Bettendorff, Allan V. Kalueff, and Aleksei Umriukhin. These coauthors have contributed to various works alongside Landgraf, indicating a collaborative approach in addressing complex research questions.

  • Dmitrii Pavlov
  • Anna Gorlova
  • Lucien Bettendorff
  • Allan V. Kalueff
  • Aleksei Umriukhin

Landgraf's research appears predominantly in the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, where their published work has contributed to the understanding of learning mechanisms and associated neurobiological changes.

  • Neurobiology of Learning and Memory

Overall, Rainer Landgraf's academic contributions focus on elucidating neurobiological bases of memory, stress, and neuroinflammatory processes with an emphasis on translational relevance to psychiatric conditions.
