Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

James C. Douglas's research program investigates the neuroinflammatory and neurodevelopmental effects of ethanol exposure, particularly in the context of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). He has published work examining ethanol's modulation of neuroinflammation in the cerebellum and hippocampus of mouse models. Specific studies have explored the roles of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and MyD88-dependent signaling in ethanol-induced neuroinflammation in chronic plus binge AUD models. Douglas's work also addresses the impact of developmental ethanol exposure on myelination and the transcriptome in the cerebellum and hippocampus during critical neurodevelopmental periods. His research network includes frequent collaborators from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Paul D. Drew, Cynthia J.M. Kane, and Tonya Rafferty, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Douglas's scholarly output includes 17 publications with an h-index of 13 and over 700 citations.
