I am curious to get feedback, comments:
on new idea how medial habenula causes respiratory depression when activated by mu opioids. I think that MHb activates interpeduncular nucleus, which projects to PAG, that can cause slow-down of respiration and heart rate.
also to discuss :
hypothesis that prenatal nicotine activates MHb ->IPN ->PAG
leading to SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome.
I also seek a chance to join research project in someone's lab, even short one. I can analyze fMRI, fcMRI or DTI images of human brain, or explore connectivity of prefrontal and subcortical regions.
