Overview

Vivienne A. Russell is affiliated with the University of Cape Town in South Africa. Their research primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Psychology, with a focus on subfields including Social Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Cognitive Neuroscience.

Their scholarly work covers several topics related to neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, including stress responses and cortisol as well as memory and neural mechanisms. These areas reflect an interdisciplinary approach that integrates behavioral and biological perspectives on brain function and behavior.

Russell has published research in the venue European Neuropsychopharmacology. One of their documented papers is titled "Differential effects of social isolation rearing on glutamate- and GABA-stimulated noradrenaline release in the rat prefrontal cortex and hippocampus," published in 2020.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Russell include:

  • Katie H Atmore
  • Dan J. Stein
  • Brian H. Harvey
  • Fleur M. Howells

Frequent publication venues in their career include:

  • European Neuropsychopharmacology

Russell's contributions address neurochemical and behavioral consequences of social isolation, among other themes. Their research findings contribute to the understanding of how neurotransmitter systems such as glutamate, GABA, and noradrenaline function differently in brain regions associated with cognition and emotion, particularly under stress-related conditions.
