| My major research interests center around the elucidation of the central nervous systems that regulate and control both the timing and the duration of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep. The major approach in this area is carried out using pharmacological agents with known mechanisms of action and microinjecting them into appropriate brain regions. Use of in vivo microdialysis is also employed to understand the normal release of neurotransmitters during REM Sleep. |

My research interests are in the philosophy of language, and concern in particular the problem of normativity and the critical assessment of naturalistic approaches to meaning and mind.
He teaches courses in philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and logic. |

| I use biochemical and electrophysiological techniques to understand the molecular properties of neurotransmitter receptors, focusing on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. I am planning also to investigate the role of these receptors in the developing nervous system of a model vertebrate zebrafish, using both biochemical and molecular biological approaches. |

| I use electrophysiological (and optical) techniques to study synaptic transmission. In particular, I am interested in presynaptic events involved in the control and modulation of neurotransmitter release. Most of my work has been performed on neuromuscular junctions isolated from frog, crayfish, and lizard. |

| I use behavioral and neuroanatomical techniques to study the role of prefrontal cortex in emotion and memory. My current work focuses on understanding the contributions of distinct regions of the rat prefrontal cortex to emotional memory. |
