Background
PREFERRED TITLE/ROLE:

Associate Professor

NARRATIVE:

Dr. Holmes' research focuses upon derangements in autonomic nervous system reflexes following traumatic brain or spinal cord injury. His laboratory combines clinically relevant experimental models of brain and spinal cord injury with physiological, neurochemical and immunohistochemical techniques. Particular emphasis in his laboratory has been placed on gastrointestinal and reproductive changes after injury.
