Abstract
Currently I am spending all of my time teaching, primarily the Physiology Lab course, and I am not involved in any research. In the past, some of my research projects have included: studies of cell death and cell lineage in chimeric mice, physiological recordings of cerebellar neurons in awake monkeys, cell lineage analyses in developing frog retina, immunocytochemical and histochemical analyses of developing rat spinal cord and of humans suffering from ALS, and studies of neuronal migration and cell death in slices of embryonic rat spinal cord.
