16. Research thrust areas as recognized by major funding agencies

Research is one of the major & significant activities of the Department and the

thrust areas are the following.

1. Polysomnography studies.

2. Antioxidant measurements

3. Pulmonology function test.

4. Electroneurocardio physiology function tests.

5. Nerve conduction studies.

6. Animal Experiments with various stress levels including Noise Stress, restrain,

radiation stress.

The faculty and staff members of the Department of Physiology practice both the

laboratory and clinical aspects of physiology as a science. The research laboratories

include: Autonomic Function Laboratory, Neurophysiology Lab, Electro physiology

laboratory, Pulmonology Laboratory, Polysomnography - Sleep Research Laboratory

and Stress Physiology Laboratory and Anti oxidant lab.



The Autonomic Function Laboratory is involved in understanding the basic

mechanisms in autonomic dysregulation in disease states and several studies are

undertaken in collaboration with clinical departments. Indigenous software is also

developed for multicentric trials for the quantification of autonomic tone.

The Sleep Research Laboratory examines in the rodent model the homeostatic

mechanisms involved in the medial preoptic area for fine-tuning food intake, body

temperature, locomotor activity and sleep-wakefulness. State-of-art laboratories

are available in the department for conducting such studies that also involve active

collaboration with the Neurology dept

In the Stress Physiology Laboratory the EEG signature of stress is being

assessed with various cognitive functions to associate the physiological and

psychological markers of stress in an effort to test whether lifestyle and meditation

can help individuals overcome stress. Studies are ongoing using human subjects to

understand the physiology of stress and its alleviation using lifestyle interventions.
