Research Interests:
At the present time, Dr. Stark, director of the animal research
facility, is studying chronically instrumented fetal baboons.
Comprehensive and sophisticated measurements are used to track
the fetal baboon response to controlled maternal hypoxia.
Of particular interest is effect of hypoxia on the development
of cardiorespiratory control. Measurements of fetal breathing,
fetal heart rate and heart rate variability and fetal EEG
are made continuously during the last two to four weeks of
gestation during steady-state resting behavior and during
a number of experimental interventions. Dr. Stark is also
studying the physiology of neurohypophyseal peptide hormones
using a chronic sheep preparation with catheters placed in
the ventricles of the brain. Changes in the level of such
hormones as vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing factor
are monitored under a number of rigidly controlled conditions.
