In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Endocrinology, Anhedonia, Stressor and Chronic stress is strongly linked to Anxiety.
His Ethanol research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Alcohol and Anesthesia, Self-administration.
His most cited work include:
- Opposing tonically active endogenous opioid systems modulate the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway (871 citations)
- The dopamine hypothesis of reward: past and current status (858 citations)
- Impaired stress response and reduced anxiety in mice lacking a functional corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (829 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Rainer Spanagel focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Addiction.
His Internal medicine research includes elements of Alcohol and Alcohol dependence.
His research in Endocrinology is mostly focused on Dopamine.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Synaptic plasticity and Glutamatergic in addition to Neuroscience.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to NMDA receptor under Pharmacology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Glutamate receptor.
