Research Interests

Neural plasticity as studied by means of fetal grafting. In particular, I am interested in recovery of behavioral functions related to grafting of the hypothalamic region of the brain. Emphasis will be placed on the neurochemical and neuroanatomical characteristics of the grafted tissue and the possible interactions between graft and host.
