Gedeon Richter (Hungary)
Viktor Román's research has significantly advanced our understanding of neurological disorders, including autism and depression. Studies have revealed the role of P2X7 receptors in preventing autism-like phenotypes in mice, as well as the impact of maternal exposure to valproate on social behavior in rats. Additionally, research on oxytocin's effects on social behavior in dogs has demonstrated its potential therapeutic applications. Román's work also explores the neural mechanisms underlying depression and sleep regulation, highlighting the importance of adenosine A1 receptors and their relationship with neuroendocrine stress reactivity. These findings hold significant promise for developing innovative treatments for various neurological conditions.
