Our work on stress builds on the
observation that there are dense concentrations of stress hormone receptors
in hippocampus, and that as a consequence hippocampal function is modulated
by the levels of this hormone. We have focused on the impact of variations
in stress hormone on development and learning, with a recent interest
in the interactions between stress hormone, sleep and memory. Papers
on these topics can be downloaded below.
