My research studies behavior from physiological, neurochemical and anatomical perspectives. My work takes a system's neuroscience perspective to study mechanisms of pain and its control in rat subjects. I am specifically interested in the functions of cannabinoids -- the bodies' own marijuana-like compounds -- in supressing pain. I am interested in how this system may be activated to treat chronic pain - a significant clinical problem - that responds poorly to conventional treatments.
