Our overall focus is on individual differences in general cognitive abilities (c.f., "intelligence"). Genetically heterogenous and transgenic mice are used in studies of behavioral processes as well as neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and molecular/genetic mechanisms of learning, reasoning, and attention as they relate to general cognitive performance. Students are provided with the opportunity to participate in the design and implementation of all aspects of these studies.
Students interested in working in this laboratory should send a resume, transcript (unofficial transcript is fine), and schedule.
