Current Research: Loy D. Lytle

Dr. Lytle is interested in the neurochemical basis of behavior, with an emphasis on the maturational changes that take place in brain and peripheral nervous system mechanisms important for behavior. His current research is aimed at developing new behavioral methods for studying pain and identifying new pain-relieving drugs in rodents. Toward this end, his laboratory is studying whether rodent vocalization responses to nociceptive stimuli can be used to differentiate pain states in animals, as well as discriminate among various classes of drugs used to alleviate pain.
