Research Interest
My research interest is in adaptability of the nervous and neuromuscular systems to alterations in chronic activity level. My research subjects include rats, mice and humans. Recent studies have examined neuromuscular responses to decreased activity, such as that seen during limb immobilization, muscle paralysis, and space flight, and increased activity, such as endurance training. I measure metabolic signaling responses such as, MAP kinases, in muscles and motoneurones, to acute stresses. I also examine chronic changes in metabolic and electrophysiological properties of neuromuscular junctions and alpha-motoneurones to alterations in activity.
