Week 4
Dr. Exazevia Logan
Neuroscientist
Dr. Logan received his undergraduate degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Winston-Salem State University in 1999, and received a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Wake Forest University in 2008. His research is focused on identifying the neuroanatomical and transmitter pathways sub serving angiotensin II actions in brain areas involved in baroreceptor reflex control of the circulation. His research laboratory previously established that ganglionic neuroplasticity is intimately involved in the regulation of arterial blood pressure in hypertensive rats. His current research aim is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of involved of brain angiotensin II action in the brain in order to develop better therapeutic strategies for the treatment and control of hypertension.
He will be introducing us to the electrophysiological connection between the ear, brain, and heart.
Dr. Mesia Moore Steed
Physiologist
Dr. Steed is a native of Kentucky. She completed her undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Louisville. After completing her postdoctoral training at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, she joined the Department of Biological Sciences at Winston Salem State University.
She will be introducing us to the physiological connection between the ear, brain, and heart.
