Maarten van den Buuse

Maarten van den Buuse conducts neuroscience research at James Cook University with focus on neuropharmacology and psychiatric models. His investigations examine BDNF polymorphisms, maternal immune activation effects, and neurotransmitter systems using animal models. Recent publications demonstrate expertise in schizophrenia mechanisms, stress neurobiology, and psychostimulant impacts.

Research employs diverse methodologies including behavioral phenotyping, molecular analysis, and pharmacological interventions. Key models involve BDNF mutations, methamphetamine exposure, and stress paradigms. Studies frequently address sex differences in neuropsychiatric disorders and therapeutic interventions targeting neurotrophic pathways.
