Genetic interactions in brainstem development and function (BRAINSTEM GENETICS)

Objective

The brain stem regulates a myriad of vital functions that are involved in major chronic health problems of the European Community, such as hypertension, respiratory, mood, sleep, gastrointestinal, and vestibular disorders, and pain. It is also the site of debilitating tumours. Many of these disorders have a genetic component that may be tied to defects in brain stem development. The aim of the proposal is identify the genes and characterize the genetic interactions that are pivotal for the proper development of brainstem neurons' that control specific vital functions, Expertise in molecular genetic, morphological, physiological, and imaging technologies will be assembled and focused on brainstem function in mutant mouse models. The design, development, and production of DNA micro array technology as a tool for assessing brainstem gene expression in animals and humans will bring the research into the realm of clinical applications in humans.
