Summer is Here.
The semester is officially complete! Grades are in and now it's time to get in the lab for a summer of research. We have several projects we are working to make progress on including testing stimulation parameters for our chronic diaphragm pacing studies and investigating the mechanisms that give rise to plasticity following acute phrenic afferent stimulation.

Experimental Biology
We packed our bags and headed to Philly to the final Experimental Biology meeting. We saw some of the sites around the city, took embarrassing lab photos, Nicole presented her first poster (and did an outstanding job), and we spent some much needed time catching up with colleagues. So excited for the inaugural American Physiological Society Meeting next Spring in Long Beach CA!

New Manuscript
Results from our study exploring the cardiorespiratory effect of phrenic afferent activation is now available. Read it here: https://0-journals-physiology-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/doi/epdf/10.1152/jn.00433.2021. PMID: 34788165. This study used electrical stimulation applied to the whole phrenic nerve to activate phrenic afferents while monitoring contralateral phrenic motor output and cardiovascular parameters including blood pressure and heart rate. We provide evidence that activating phrenic afferents enhances respiratory motor output.

New Manuscript available online
We are excited to announce that our study on spinal cord injury in the African spiny mouse is now available online. African spiny mice are a unique mammal which have little to no scarring or fibrosis after skin and muscle injury. Our study extended these observations by showing molecular and immunohistochemical evidence of reduced spinal inflammation and fibrosis following spinal cord injury.
