Research Description
Since the late 1980s, I conducted basic research on the neuropharmacology of epilepsy, feeding, and drug tolerance.During the 1990s I spent most of my time evaluating mathematical models of associative learning in animals. Currently, I am using a theoretical/mathematical approach to improve upon the available contemporary models of learning and memory.
