Episode 2: Prosthetic Arms, Frozen Frogs and Alligator Hearts
Nov 11, 2007
In this episode of Life Lines, we speak with Todd Kuiken, a doctor
at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and a professor at
Northwestern University, about his efforts to develop a prosthetic
arm that responds directly to signals from the brain. He will
describe his latest research, which appears in the Journal of
Neurophysiology, published by the American Physiological Society.
This segment begins at 1:41.
In our 'Ask a Physiologist' section, we'll talk to Ken Storey of
Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, who will answer the question
'Can an animal freeze, then thaw out and live?' This segment begins
at 9:23.
In our final segment, APS Executive Director Martin Frank will talk
to Jim Hicks of the University of California at Irvine about the
uniquely structured alligator heart and the role it plays in
digestion. This final segment begins at 18:34.
