Special Lecture:

Dr. Ralph Lydic will be speaking on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. in the Grandpré Communications Centre. 

Title: "Cholinergic Modulation of Arousal: Relevance for Sleep and Anesthesiology"

Bio Paragraph:
Ralph Lydic, PhD., is the Bert La Du Professor of Anesthesiology, Professor of Physiology, and Associate Chair for Anesthesiology Research at the University of Michigan.  Dr. Lydic's laboratory has been funded continuously since 1988 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.  The goals of his research programs are to elucidate the mechanisms by which sleep, opioids, and volatile anesthetics depress breathing and arousal.  His research has promoted the view that neurons generating sleep and wakefulness preferentially modulate the ability of opioids, hypnotics, and anesthetics to obtund wakefulness.
