Overview

Volker Höllt is affiliated with Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a considerable involvement in neuroscience. They have conducted extensive studies on molecular biology and cellular and molecular neuroscience, alongside contributions to physiology and sensory systems.

The scientist's research topics concentrate on pharmacological receptor mechanisms and effects, pain mechanisms and treatments, and neuropeptides and animal physiology. Additional areas of study include receptor mechanisms and signaling, anxiety, depression, psychometrics, treatment and cognitive processes, ion channels and receptors, and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors study.
