Research in my lab focuses on noninvasive treatment options for neonatal hypoxic ischemia (neonatal stroke). We are interested in discovering how pharmacological treatments given with or concurrent with brain stimulation impact neonatal brain plasticity, functional recovery, and neurodevelopment. My lab’s current studies focus on utilizing intranasal treatment of the protein BDNF to improve brain health and recovery after a hypoxic event in a neonatal rat. The brain is plastic, and even more so during development, so our research explores both the logical and practical attempt to further enhance the brain’s natural mechanisms after injury.
