Fadel, Jim

Professor

Our interests are diverse but may be broadly grouped into the following categories. We combine anatomical, neurochemical, behavioral and molecular approaches to these studies: 1. The neural basis for age-related changes in cognitive and homeostatic function. 2. Anatomical and neurochemical substrates of stress and anxiety. 3. HIV effects on CNS function.
