Research Interests

Circadian rhythms, thermoregulation, sleep and wakefulness, and aging

Research Summary:

Dr. Satinoff’s work focuses on the neural control of homeostatic and rhythmic behaviors in aged rats. Current work in the laboratory involves investigating why old rats, like old humans, do not get good fevers when they are infected or when they are stressed. This is being studied using physiological, behavioral, immunological and endocrinological approaches.
