Previously, we observed expression of the homeobox transcription factor Prox1 in neuroectodermal embryonic tissues. Besides essential functions during embryonic development, Prox1 has been implicated ...

Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel protein, and mutations of its gene cause cystic fibrosis. CFTR is known to be expressed in epithelial cells of the ...

In one of the very early examples of activity dependent gene expression, we showed that stimulation of the cervical sympathetic trunk led to an increase in the activity of protein level, and mRNA ...

This bean-shaped structure in hues of purple, red, and green is a sympathetic ganglion from a newborn mouse. Sympathetic ganglia are chains of neurons up and down the spine that help initiate the ...

My laboratory studies plasticity in the adult nervous system. We are interested in the ways in which the chemistry of the adult nervous system can change and the functional consequences of such ...

We offer a low risk procedure called a Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to treat PTSD. The stellate ganglion is a major control center for the sympathetic nervous system and is a conduit for PTSD ...

NEW ORLEANS — Stellate ganglion block appears to be a fast-acting and effective treatment for chronic, extreme post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a single-center study. Although the ...
