Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

James C. Douglas investigates the neuroinflammatory and neurodevelopmental effects of ethanol exposure, particularly in the context of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) and alcohol use disorder. His research utilizes mouse models to study how ethanol impacts brain regions such as the cerebellum and hippocampus. Douglas's work has explored ethanol's modulation of neuroinflammation, myelination, and gene expression in the developing brain. He has published on the signaling pathways involved in ethanol-induced neuroinflammation, including the roles of TLR4 and MyD88. Douglas's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13 and 18 total publications. He has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Paul D. Drew, Cynthia J.M. Kane, and Tonya Rafferty, with whom he shares multiple publications.
