The long-term goals of my research are to understand the relationship between neuronal structure and function, and to elucidate the factors that affect neuronal morphology and function over the lifespan of the mammal. Currently we are examining 1) the effects of synaptic activity on neuronal development; 2) the effects of estrogen on neuronal morphology and on learning and memory; and, 3) the effects of aging on neuronal structure and function. We have focused our efforts on single neurons in the hippocampal formation, a region that is critical for certain forms of learning and memory in rodents and humans.
