Overview

Valery Grinevich is affiliated with Heidelberg University in Germany and has significant contributions in the fields of Psychology and Neuroscience. Their research predominantly focuses on neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, with additional work in the neuroscience of respiration and sleep, stress responses and cortisol, evolutionary psychology and human behavior, infant health and development, attachment and relationship dynamics, and neuropeptides and animal physiology.

Their recent papers include the following:

  • Social touch promotes interfemale communication via activation of parvocellular oxytocin neurons, 2020, Nature Neuroscience
  • Brain oxytocin: how puzzle stones from animal studies translate into psychiatry, 2020, Molecular Psychiatry
  • Astrocytes mediate the effect of oxytocin in the central amygdala on neuronal activity and affective states in rodents, 2021, Nature Neuroscience
  • Extrahypothalamic oxytocin neurons drive stress-induced social vigilance and avoidance, 2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Oxytocin and vasopressin within the ventral and dorsal lateral septum modulate aggression in female rats, 2021, Nature Communications

Frequent co-authors in Grinevich's publications include Arthur Lefèvre, Alexandre Charlet, Ferdinand Althammer, Quirin Krabichler, and Javier E. Stern.

Grinevich has published multiple works in various academic venues with notable frequency in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Nature Communications, Current Biology, and STAR Protocols.

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) - 18 publications
  • Journal of Neuroendocrinology - 7 publications
  • Nature Communications - 4 publications
  • Current Biology - 3 publications
  • STAR Protocols - 3 publications

In addition to journal articles, Grinevich has contributed to book literature, having published in Springer International Publishing including the 2021 work titled Neuroanatomy of Neuroendocrine Systems.
