My graduate training was in the field of animal behaviour, with an emphasis on conditioning and learning, I have since then had interests in several brain and behaviour issues, including the lateralization of brain function, and cognitive processes in animal behaviour, in particular visual categorization in birds. I am currently interested in structure and function in vertebrate and invertebrate brains, and in related evolutionary questions. Books Walker, S.F.
