Research Interests

In the fields of neuropathology and neurodegeneration, research vocuses on quantitative comparisons across Parkinsonian disorders (e.g. Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy). Other areas of interest include comparative neuroanatomy with special interest in quantitative comparison of neuronal populations across primate species and the production of stereotaixc and quantitative atlases of various mammalian brains.
