# Cortical-Medullary Circuitry Preventing the Cardiovascular Consequences of Chronic Stress

> **NIH NIH R01** · COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $50,635

## Abstract

Summary
This is an application for an administrative supplement in response to PA-20-222: Research
Supplement to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research. This application requests funds
to support Sebastian Pace. Mr. Pace is an under-represented minority graduate student who
recently finished coursework and is beginning his dissertation research in Dr. Brent Myers's
laboratory at Colorado State University where he is co-mentored by Dr. Shane Hentges. The
parent award examines the role of a prefrontal cortex-to-brainstem neurocircuit that may prevent
the cardiovascular consequences of chronic stress. This supplemental application compliments
these studies to determine both the prefrontal innervation of distinct and opposing cell groups in
the brainstem as well as potential sex differences in this organization. This experience will be
valuable training for Mr. Pace in a number of new techniques and conceptual approaches to
further his career in health-related research.
