Currently Dr.Florsheim and I are designing experiments to a) identify the brain circuits induced by immune defenses and b) characterize the behavioral responses to distinct immunological stimuli. Our approach has the potential to uncover unknown immunological mechanisms underlying neuro-psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
