Research and professional interests

Dr. Newton has published articles in the areas of reproductive cell biology, toxicology, circadian rhythms, and neuroendocrinology. He has in the past managed three successful NIH funded laboratories. His current interests are the physiological effects of physical therapy modalities, the neurological and vascular effects of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and sympathetic interaction on vascular compromise. Currently, Dr. Newton is working on two books, the first is a "Handbook of Essential Neuroscience" and the second is a "Textbook of Peripheral Nerve Anatomy."
