Invertebrate Neurobiology, Control of Locomotion
Dr. Satterlie' s research centers on the control of locomotion in the marine pteropod mollusc Clione limacina. The primary focus is on neural mechanisms of locomotory speed control through central and peripheral modulatory mechanisms as well as more classical types of inputs to the locomotory system. A second project involves description of the acquisition phase of feeding in Clione, and the description of the effects of motivational state (arousal) on feeding activity. A third project involves use of the swim musculature of Clione as a model system for the study of myotonic muscle disease. In the latter project, voltage clamp technology is being used to investigate the ionic basis of repetitive firing activity in swim muscle cells.
