Research
in the Drew lab focuses on three aspects of hibernation biology. The
first involves mechanisms of intrinsic neuroprotective properties of
Arctic ground squirrel brain in the hibernating and euthermic state. The
second involves mechanisms and cognitive significance of synaptic
remodeling observed during hibernation torpor and arousal. The third
involves central nervous system regulation of metabolic suppression in
hibernation.
