Mediate sense of touch and sensations from the gastrointestinal system / Lauren L Orefice, Ph.D. Assistant Professor in Genetics, HMS 00:00:00

We are also interested in the dysfunction of these circuits, and how this applies to disorders such as autism spectrum disorders, so that we may identify novel therapeutic approaches.
