Office Hours(opens in new window)
Courses Taught:
- Principles of Physiology and Development (BIOL 163)
- Vertebrate Physiology (BIOL 416)
- Neurophysiology (BIOL 418)
Research Interests:
- Developmental nicotine exposure and molecular mechanisms of memory impairment
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
- Endocytosis and trafficking of membrane proteins in hippocampal neurons
Research Summary:
Research in my lab is centered on molecular mechanisms of memory in mammalian hippocampus and how these mechanisms are disrupted in brain disorders that include dementia as a symptom. Specifically I am interested in understanding the role of cholinergic function in regulating other neurotransmitter systems, plasticity, and behavior. I am also interested in examining the effects of drugs that are capable of reducing memory decline in animal models.
