Research Interest
My research interests focus on unravelling mechanisms of plasticity for the purpose of targeting plasticity to protect the brain and enhance recovery from diseased states
Current Projects
1. Unravelling mechanisms of epileptogenesis following parasitic infestation
2. Effects of environmental enrichment on behaviour in normal and abnormal states
