Jonathan King jtk7 @ cornell.edu W149 Mudd Hall      607-254-4379   [edit] Graduate Student associated with: David P. McCobb Department: Neurobiology and Behavior Field: Neurobiology and Behavior Keywords: Cell and Molecular Neuroscience (23), Neuroendocrinology (7), Neuromodulation (12), Stress (8) Neuroscience-related courses taught TA: BIONB 222: Neurobiology and Behavior II: Introduction to Neurobiology TA: BIONB 491: Principles of Neurophysiology My research interests lie within the realm of stress physiology. What stress does, how it does it, and why it does what it does. To examine the mechanisms of stress I work on calcium and voltage activated potassium channels that are located in the adrenal medulla. These ion channels shape the firing properties of chromaffin cells, which are responsible for adrenaline release during a stress response. I am particularly interested in the interactions that stress steroids have with these ion channels and how these interactions contribute to the stress response. I do this work in David McCobb's Lab.
