Research Interests: Organization and evolution of the vertebrate
nervous system. Using anatomical methods, professor Braford's studies
brain organization in different animals and attemps to interpret
the results in a comparative and evolutionary context. In recent
work on the orgaization of the forebrain he has attempted to determine
the extent to which nonmammalian vertebrates have evovled their
own specialized patterns of forebrain organization as well as the
extent to which they posses brain structures that are antecedent
of the mammalian neocortex, basal ganglia, and limbic system.
