My laboratory
studies chemosensory communication between the gut and brain. The
stomach and intestine contain a host of chemosensory systems and,
relative to the current understanding of the taste system of the mouth,
these pathways are not well characterized.
Evidence suggests that chemical signaling from the gut plays a role in
feeding behavior, nutrition, nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal
physiology. This research program may lead to a better understanding of
the control of appetite in normal and disease states.
