Main Research Experience and Interest
Studies of neural connections and chemical architecture in the mammalian brain, focussing mostly in association cortical areas and the thalamus of humans and non-human primates. At present she leads the group “Primate Central Nervous System: architecture and disease models”. A main goal of the present research is the elucidation of the catecholaminergic innervation of the primate thalamus. In parallel, she is engaged in projects aiming at generating and evaluating primate models of Parkinson’s disease.
