They also study interactions of neurotransmitters/modulators within the hypothalamus in endocrine regulations and their roles in regulation of cardiovascular functions in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. They are particularly interested in neuroimmunoregulation as it applies to autonomic regulation of cytokine generation and release and their roles in cardiovascular diseases and in central and peripheral actions of cytokines on neuro-endocrine functions and their roles in regulation of cardiovascular functions including the morphometry of normal and diseased hearts.
