Research involves the neural control of cardiorespiratory function.
Recent research has focused on the effect of carotid chemoreceptor stimulation on distributed brainstem neural networks involved in cardiorespiratory control. Currently part of a team organized for the design and production of an array of 32 individually adjustable microelectrodes and concomitant data acquisition, recording and entry equipment. B. G.
