The Burton Lab focuses on the conversation between the immune and nervous systems to regulate adaptive behaviors (pain, depression, anxiety, and sickness). Toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 is a pattern recognition receptor that is expressed in several cell types in the immune and nervous systems and mediates various physiological cascades. The lecture will highlight how this protein mediates whole body behavior in a cell and sex-specific fashion with data from multiple groups utilizing pharmacological and genetic approaches.
