Evolution of the brain, sensory systems and behaviors in a blind cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus.

• developmental evolution (evo-devo) of the eye, sensory organs, and forebrain.

• evolutionary genetics of the olfactory system and olfactory-dependent behaviors

• evolution of monoaminergic systems, neurogenetics of MAO (Monoamine oxidase)

• population genetics and analyses of behavior in the natural habitat (Mexican caves)
