- Regulation of Arousal States and Neural Correlates of Consciousness.- Research in my laboratory focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying the generation of arousal states of sleep and wakefulness, as well as the neural regulation of the loss and resumption of consciousness with respect to general anesthesia.
- Sleep and Pain Interactions.- Ongoing studies in my lab aim to understand the brain circuitry by which sleep disruption increases pain and paves the way for chronic pain.
- Mechanisms of Hypothermia.- We study the neural underpinnings of hypothermia during sleep and hypometabolic states (torpor), and their potential implications in neuroprotection.
