RESEARCH ACTIVITY

Areas of Research

1973-74 Animal models of epilepsy and alcoholism. Research assistant for J.P.J. Pinel, U.B.C.

1974-76 Neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of ingestive behaviours and reinforcement. Research assistant for R.A. Wise, Concordia University.

1976-77 Neurophysiology of positive and negative reinforcement. M.A. student, Concordia University, P. Shizgal supervisor.

1977-82 Neurophysiology of learning: The contribution of hippocampal synaptic plasticity to operant conditioning. Ph.D. student, U.B.C., A.G. Phillips supervisor, D.M. Wilkie (Psychology) and J.J. Miller (Physiology) co-supervisors.

1983-84 Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of learning: The role of the deep cerebellar nuclei in rabbit eyelid conditioning. NSERC post-doctoral fellow, Stanford University. R.F. Thompson, principle investigator.

1984-90 Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of learning: The role of synaptic plasticity in learning. Analysis of the contribution of the cerebellar nuclei to eyelid conditioning, and the hippocampus to spatial learning. NSERC University Research Fellow, University of Victoria.

1990-97 Neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropharmacology of learning and recovery of function after brain damage. Analysis of mechanisms of spatial learning and navigation in the Morris water maze. Focus on contributions of BZD/GABAa receptors, cholinergic systems and long-term potentiation. New research on effects of common clinical medications on recovery of cognitive function after traumatic brain injury in both rats and humans.

1994 - Recovery of function after brain injury in humans. Initially my interest was in attention deficits, and then deficits in explicit memory. Starting in 1996, I have been investigating deficits in spatial cognition (spatial learning, memory and navigation), primarily after traumatic brain injury, but to some extent after strokes and aging. This research uses computerised “virtual space” to produce a task exactly analogous to that used with laboratory animals to assess hippocampal function behaviourally.

1996 - Recovery of function after brain injury in humans – Comprehensive Assessment In collaboration with clinical neuropsychologists and other rehabilitation therapy professionals I have been developing a comprehensive outcome measurement tool, the Functional Outcome Profile (FOP). This semi-structured interview solicits quantitative ratings of current functional status from survivors and their significant others in 63 different domains of everyday life, ranging from sensory motor problems, through cognitive, health, leisure and work issues, and personality issues to social dynamics, interpersonal relations and community integration.
