Overview

Victor A. Molina is affiliated with the National University of Córdoba in Argentina and has conducted research primarily within the field of neuroscience. Their work spans several subfields, including cognitive neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, neurology, and sociology and political science.

Their publications focus extensively on topics such as memory and neural mechanisms, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, stress responses and cortisol, as well as mechanisms and treatments related to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration mechanisms, and neurogenesis and neuroplasticity also feature in their research interests.
