| Keywords | intra-pituitary control of fertility fertility gonadotroph cells folliculostellate cells lactotroph cells breeding control of fertility |
| Areas of expertise | Research interests: Investigations on the intra-pituitary control of fertility, with particular reference to the role of the associations between gonadotroph, lactotroph and folliculostellate cells in seasonally breeding species. Investigations on prolactin action within the brain: how this may regulate the activity of neuronal circuits involved in the control of fertility. Current projects include: • Signal transduction pathways and neuronal mechanisms underlying the central effects of PRL on the control of fertility. • Intra-pituitary fertility control. |
