Research Assistant Positions: Neural Mechanisms of Heart-Brain Communication
Luis Hernandez-Nunez, PhD, and Prof. Florian Engert, Molecular and Cellular Biology-FAS
academic year 2023-2024


Project Description: How do the brain and heart modulate each other’s function? The heart-brain communication axis is central to vertebrate health and survival. For example, when an animal perceives a threat, during its response the brain modulates heart function, and neural feedback from the heart modulates brain activity. We know that the intracardiac nervous system (ICNS),...
