Neurophysiology; sympathetic ganglia; gastrointestinal motility; physiological control theory and software engineering
The long term goals of my research program are to understand 1) information processing within sympathetic prevertebral ganglia, 2) the role of prevertebral ganglia in the regulation of gastrointestinal function, and 3) how the intestine produces and controls the flow of luminal content.
A tutorial in this laboratory will introduce electrophysiological methods for studying information processing in neural networks, systems analysis of control systems regulating gastrointestinal motility, and/or the development of applications software for physiological research.
