Dr. Carie Boychuk investigates the role of brainstem autonomic circuits in the control of cardiometabolic function, with a specific emphasis on the generation of parasympathetic motor output to organ systems critical in the regulation of cardiometabolic physiology. The Boychuk Lab provides unique insight into the integration of multiple physiological...
