Expertise

Research Projects:

  • Animal models of episodic memory
  • Animal models of prospective memory
  • Animal models of retrieval practice

Research in my lab is focused on developing new animal models of cognition.

Current projects in the lab focus on: Animal models of episodic memory. Episodic memory function in rats that carry genes associated with Alzheimer's disease.
