Major Research Theme
| Our research has focused on the reciprocal interactions between the brain and the reproductive endocrine system in neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Clinical investigations assess 1) the role of temporolimbic dysfunction on reproductive endocrine function and reproductive disorders in both men and women with epilepsy, 2)the role reproductive steroids in the pathophysiology and treatment of epilepsy and emotional disorders. |
