Rainer J. Wolf - Nursing Science

Author Information

Rainer J. Wolf is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Nursing and Health at Hochschule Fulda, University of Applied Sciences, Fulda, Germany. His work primarily focuses on neuropsychiatric disorders, schizophrenia, and the role of microglia in these conditions.

Research Contributions

Rainer J. Wolf has made significant contributions to the field of neuropsychiatry. His research encompasses a variety of topics including the role of microglia in neuropsychiatric disorders and suicide, the effects of neonatal excitotoxic lesions on social interactions in rats, and the differential impact of first and second-generation antipsychotics on hippocampal neuron synapses. He has also explored the involvement of calcium-binding proteins like calretinin and parvalbumin in schizophrenia and affective disorders, as well as the role of dopamine from a neurobiological and evolutionary perspective. His work often involves animal models to study these conditions and has been published in several reputable journals.
