My senior research project will analyze the effect of brain lesions on thermoregulation response and determine which areas of the brain’s thermoregulation centers cause response to extreme temperature, with a particular emphasis on the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the pre-optic area. Additionally, I am participating in a retrospective clinical study, which analyzes data from human patients who endure injuries in times of extreme temperature.
Both my on-site experiment and the retrospective clinical study I am participating in are crucial in contributing to the knowledge on thermoregulation and its mechanisms. Thermoregulation is an important field to study, especially in a state like Arizona, where temperatures are constantly among the highest in the United States.
