Neural Systems Laboratory
Investigating the neural mechanisms that regulate metabolism, thermoregulation, consciousness, and survival states.
Overview
Investigating the neural mechanisms that regulate metabolism, thermoregulation, consciousness, and survival states.
// Key Focus Areas
Research Focus
Hypothalamic Control Networks
Studying brain regions responsible for energy balance and temperature control.
Autonomic Nervous System
Understanding involuntary body regulation during hypometabolic states.
Circadian Rhythm Systems
Researching how biological clocks influence torpor induction and recovery.
Brain-State Monitoring
Continuous neural monitoring for safe torpor control.
Neuroprotection
Preventing brain damage during extended low-energy states.
Neuromodulation Technologies
Focused ultrasound, neuroimaging, and targeted stimulation for torpor control.
// FUTURE DIRECTION
What Comes Next
Can the brain safely guide the body into prolonged metabolic conservation while preserving cognition, health, and recovery?
