| Native Northeastern Ohioan, residing near Akron. Happily married with three amazing and talented children. Soccer Dad.
Courses Currently Taught HSC 476 Neuroscience Systems 4-credit lecture patterned after medical school neurophysiology with special attention to motor control. I teach it fall and summer each year. HSC 478 Neuroscience Laboratory 1-credit wet anatomy lab also patterned after medical school neuroanatomy with special attention to descending motor control from brainstem. I teach it fall and spring and summer each year. HSC 495 Neuroscience Independent Study 1- to 4-credit hands-on rodent stereotaxic neurosurgery, electrophysiology, cerebrospinal fluid extraction, trans-cardial perfusion, ELISA assays, histology and poster presentations. May be taken more than once but only once for the Neuroscience Minor. Currently investigating stress markers arising from brainstem stimulation. May be taken with or without animal handling. I teach it on demand year-round. HSC 200 Introduction to Health Sciences (Online) 3-credit freshman career exploration in Health Sciences-related disciplines. This course will address health sciences as a coherent group of disciplines concerned about the functional health of the individual, areas of concern and study, service delivery, the nature of the services provided, opportunities within selected fields, and the relationship of each field with other related fields within the health sciences; and the impact of changes in health-care delivery on these fields. Taught on demand. HSC 484 Advanced Research and Writing in Health Sciences 3-credit capstone research proposal writing course. I teach it fall and spring each year. HSC 438H and HSC 439H Independent Research I and II respectively, 3- and 2-credit culmination the Honors/Scholars Research Capstone sequence where students follow through on their HSC 484 proposals (PLAN TO DO THE SCIENCE), HSC 438H (DO THE SCIENCE) and HSC 439H (COMMUNICATE THE SCIENCE). A wide variety of research activity is possible sometimes even including rodent neurosurgery in my lab. I teach it on demand year-round. | ||

| Research Interests: | ||
| Current research interests:
We are investigating the damaging effects of dynorphins and perhaps other inflammatory factors on the peripheral auditory system. We are currently laying the background for our major research agenda by connecting the stimulation of the locus coeruleus or superior periolivary nucleus (in the mouse) to increases in systemic stress markers and increases of inflammatory action within the cochlea. Quantification of those markers and inflammatory activity will be proof of concept for moving the investigation into the clinical field. Keywords: Synaptic plasticity Locus coeruleus or superior periolivary nucleus stimulation Corticosterone and Cortisone and Dynorphin ELISA Stereotaxic mouse neurosurgery and electrophysiology Cerebrospinal fluid extraction for ultrasensitive mass spectrometry Exacerbation of auditory dysfunction Previous research interests: Synaptic plasticity: Characterization of hippocampal physiology (circuit function) in naive animal models. Expression of neuroprotective synaptic proteins in chronic lithium treatment. Augmentation of learning and memory by chronic lithium. Clinical Mental Health Research: In collaboration with Graduate Student Wanda Savioli (Relationship between perceived stress and smoking). | ||
