DYSPNEA RESEARCH LAB
Our laboratory works to discover the basic neural mechanisms underlying the symptom of dyspnea (shortness of breath, breathlessness). We combine methods from respiratory physiology, psychology, and neuroscience. Our current work includes exploring the effect of aerosolized furosemide (Lasix) on air hunger.
