Professor Pascal Carrive
- PhD (1989, USyd)
Research Interests
I am a neuroscientist and my main research interest is in the organisation of the brain network that controls hyperarousal and the associated autonomic and behavioural responses to emotional stress (anxiety, fear). I am primarily interested in cardiovascular and thermogenic responses to stress. My work is in rats and mice.
