central
visual pathways and the development of the visual system in vertebrates.
Currently, he is investigating the development of the visual system
in the bullfrog and describing central visual pathways in the least
shrew. The frog studies use techniques which identify dividing nerve
cells in the tadpole brain. Other investigations use hybridoma technology
to isolate and localize chemical signals that may initiate and coordinate
the complex series of developmental events which produce the mature
visual system.
