The research mission of the reproductive science faculty in the Department of Physiology is to promote broad-based interdisciplinary research in reproductive biology and medicine. Our faculty investigate fundamental issues of male and female fertility at the molecular and cellular level as well as using whole-animal approaches. Research interests include the development of the genitalia, gonads, and reproductive tract, neural and hormonal control of reproductive function, lactation, biological rhythms, and temporal control of fertility (including puberty and aging), nutritional effects on

The nervous system allows an organism to sense and interact with its environment. Amongst the many factors that underlie nervous system function is the capacity of neurons to integrate information from many other neurons, to be excitable, and to modify their function based on experience. The research performed by the investigators associated with the Physiology Department utilizes cutting-edge, multidisciplinary approaches to understand how neuronal excitability and interconnectivity develop, are maintained, and are negatively impacted by aging or injury. The neuroscience group at SIU has
