Overview

Richard H. Dyck is affiliated with the University of Calgary in Canada, focusing on research primarily in the field of neuroscience. Their work spans several interconnected fields including nursing and medicine, with particular emphasis on nutrition and dietetics, developmental neuroscience, and cellular and molecular neuroscience. Dyck's research also touches on health, toxicology, mutagenesis, and physiology.

Their research topics cover diverse areas such as trace elements in health, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, neuroscience and neuropharmacology, heavy metal exposure and toxicity, Alzheimer's disease research and treatments, tryptophan and brain disorders, and reproductive system and pregnancy.

Dyck has contributed to multiple publications in notable journals and venues. The recent key papers include:

  • Environmental Enrichment Engages Vesicular Zinc Signaling to Enhance Hippocampal Neurogenesis (2023, Cells)
  • Examination of Zinc in the Circadian System (2020, Neuroscience)
  • Vesicular Zinc Modulates Cell Proliferation and Survival in the Developing Hippocampus (2023, Cells)
  • Lack of Vesicular Zinc Does Not Affect the Behavioral Phenotype of Polyinosinic:Polycytidylic Acid-Induced Maternal Immune Activation Mice (2022, Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience)
  • Sequential phases of cortical specification involve Neurogenin-dependent and -independent pathways (2020, UNC Libraries)

The researcher frequently publishes in the journal Cells and has additional publications in Neuroscience, Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, and UNC Libraries.

Collaborations are evident with recurring co-authors such as Selena Fu, Simon C. Spanswick, Sarah E. Thackray, Michael J. Chrusch, and Haley A. Vecchiarelli.
