Research Interest: Spinal cord circuits and sensory-motor-autonomic integration. During graduate school I studied spinal cord processing of sympathetic outflow and visceral afferent inflow, and the role of descending neuromodulatory systems in this processing. I am now focusing on how the spinal cord integrates and encodes touch information from multiple LTMRs.
