Research Interests
My primary interest is in instinctive behavior, genetic and learned, and how genetically determined mechanisms are regulated by chemical and hormonal changes in the body and brain. This field has wide implications in nutrition and medicine, as well as behavior of wild animals, and consideration of selection pressures during evolution.
