1. Resource Description

   "The Alaska Basic Neuroscience Program (ABNP) seeks to expand, facilitate, and stimulate neuroscience research as part of the human health research initiative at UA. The program incorporates interdisciplinary research to study mechanisms of neuroprotective adaptations, spanning the entire spectrum from behavioral to cellular and molecular aspects. Present research objectives concentrate on circadian rhythms and thermoregulation, hibernation as a model of neuroprotection, and neuronal regeneration and survival with an emphasis on the role of reactive oxygen species. This effort is further supported by strong collaborative research with other institutions and investigators in the United States."
