Most of my research efforts have stemmed from my fascination with larval parasites that alter the behavior of their invertebrate intermediate hosts. This interest has led me to explore various disciplines in invertebrate neurobiology from amines and behavior, to ontogeny and phylogeny of crustacean brains Brain development in the clawed lavster Homarous americanus. Embryonic stages (upper panels) and postembryonic stage IV (lower panels). Toluidine blue-stained sections (left) and serotonin-like immunoreactivity in whole mounts (right)
