Research
My students and I examine hormonal influences on neuronal structure across the lifespan. The emphasis is on cognitive parts of the rat brain, such as the cerebral cortex, corpus callosum and hippocampus, and on cognitive behavior. Our current projects include the neural and behavioral changes during adolescence and puberty; the effects of endocrine disruptors (eg, BPA) during early development and during adolescence; and the effects of hormones and nutrients on the aging brain and behavior.
