Overview

Stephanie J. Cragg is affiliated with the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, medicine, and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The scientist's work is distributed across several subfields, including cellular and molecular neuroscience, neurology, molecular biology, cognitive neuroscience, and physiology.

The main topics covered in their research encompass neuroscience and neuropharmacology, Parkinson's disease mechanisms and treatments, receptor mechanisms and signaling, neurological disorders and treatments, neurotransmitter receptor influence on behavior, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors study, and neural dynamics and brain function.

Cragg has contributed to multiple research papers, some of the recent publications include:

  • Impaired dopamine release in Parkinson's disease (2023) published in Brain
  • Lights, fiber, action! A primer on in vivo fiber photometry (2023) published in Neuron
  • Diabetes Causes Dysfunctional Dopamine Neurotransmission Favoring Nigrostriatal Degeneration in Mice (2020) published in Movement Disorders
  • CLR01 protects dopaminergic neurons in vitro and in mouse models of Parkinson's disease (2020) published in Nature Communications
  • GABA uptake transporters support dopamine release in dorsal striatum with maladaptive downregulation in a parkinsonism model (2020) published in Nature Communications

Among frequent collaborators, Cragg has worked notably with Bradley M. Roberts, Richard Wade-Martins, Natalie Connor-Robson, Katherine R. Brimblecombe, and Peter J. Magill. These partnerships have contributed to various publications and research advances in their shared fields.

The scientist's work has appeared in several publication venues, with a strong presence in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, Neuron, Brain, and Movement Disorders. BioRxiv includes the largest number of their publications, followed by Nature Communications and Neuron.
