Research interests
My research interests include neuroscience and veterinary clinical research. In the sphere of neuroscience my interests are in the influence of extra copies of the proteolipid protein gene (Plp1) on the process of myelination and in the long term demyleination (which I identified: Journal of Comparative Neurology 1998; 394: 506-519, Glia 2007; 55: 341-51) that occurs in transgenic animals carrying extra copies of this gene. In the clinical sphere my interests include seizure disorders and diseases affecting the neuromuscular system.
