Sleep apnea central circuits
This project examines the role of glia, including release of gliotransmitters and neurotransmitter reuptake transporters, in afferent integration into the nTS.
Brainstem - forebrain communication
This project examines the role of output neurons from the PVN to nTS and their role in shaping and modulating cardiorespiratory output. MPI grant with Dr. Eileen Hasser.
Cardiovascular Deconditioning
This project determines the role of nTS excitatroy and inhibitory neurochemicals and glia in cardiorespiratroy alterations in cardiovascular deconditioning. PI, Dr. Eileen Hasser.
