I call myself the “accidental psychiatrist.” I never set out to be a brain or mood expert. In fact, my focus was more on how the body works as a whole system. And people came to me not to treat brain disorders like depression or autism or Alzheimer’s, but to deal with chronic complaints and illnesses of the body.

The first TRP channel was identified in 1977 as a phototransduction mutant in Drosophila (Minke, 1977). Since that time the TRP channel family has grown to include at least 20 members (Clapham et al., 2001). The importance of TRP channels is demonstrated by the wide variety of their proposed functions: invertebrate pho... | <urn:uuid:c32a6163-babe-4e7e-b88c-1a462ba436a0> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://faculty.washington.edu/seg/Research_Summary.htm | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368708142388/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516124222-00043-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.900078 | 281 | 3.28125 | 3 |
