Personal profile
Research Interests
Focuses on steroid regulation of synaptic structure and function and the consequences of steroid-driven synaptic modulation for behavior with most of the work is on the hippocampus, a brain region important in learning and memory, epilepsy, and in affective behaviors like anxiety and depression.
