Major Research Interests

To elucidate brain structures, circuits, pathways and mechanisms that underlie normal and pathological behavior.

To develop, validate and investigatie animal models to detect abnormal cognitive, motor and emotional expressions of brain pathology.

To investigatie central nervous and behavioral phenomena associated with stress and depression and to provide service platforms to study Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
