RESEARCH INTERESTS
Cortical and subcortical pathways and mechanisms underlying visual perception
and attention in animals; the role of the basal ganglia, superior colliculus,
and other subcortical structures in mediating visual behaviors and the recovery
of visual orienting in the cortically blind cat; syndromes of visual attention
and neglect. RESEARCH TECHNIQUES
Behavioral methods for assessing visual capacities in animals; anatomical methods for studying neuronal connectivity; surgical, and chemical methods for producing lesions in the brain; eye movement recording in the awake behaving animal.RESEARCH SUMMARY
