About Scott I am a Ph.D. neurophysiologist currently practicing clinical neurophysiology in private practice. In my current role I work with the surgical team to prevent iatrogenic injury to neural structures during operative procedures. Before Hurricane Katrina I was enjoying my second postdoctoral fellowship studying properties of non-human primate neural stem cells. My first postdoc was focused on modulation of brainstem autonomic circuits by neuropeptides (specifically hypocretin/orexin). My doctoral dissertation was on the effects of NMDA receptor activation on voltage-gated ion channels in vertebrate retinal horizontal cells (teleost). I have an extensive teaching resume including human anatomy and physiology and microbiology. Scott F.
