Abstract

My research explores mechanisms of neuronal regeneration and plasticity following central or peripheral trauma with a recent emphasis on the regeneration of post-ganglionic sympathetic axons. I also examine how sympathetic innervation of skeletal muscle modulates behavior, function, and mitochondrial biology in normal and neural injury conditions, like spinal cord injury.
