Summary

Join us in this episode for a conversation with Aaron Phillips, PhD, scientist and Associate Dean of the Medical School at the University of Calgary. In this conversation we discuss two papers, A neuronal architecture underlying autonomic dysreflexia published in the journal Nature, and An implantable system to restore hemodynamic stability after spinal cord injury published in the journal Nature Medicine. In these papers Dr. Phillips and his team first identify specific neuronal components, and their location, responsible for blood pressure increases due to autonomic dysreflexia. Then an implantable device is demonstrated to help control, via neuromodulation, blood pressure fluctuations in both pre-clinical models and people living with SCI. We invite you to listen in as Dr. Phillips outlines this tour de force in neurologically understanding, and intervening on, hemodynamic instability after SCI.
