RESEARCH INTEREST:
At the present  time Dr. Vozeh is interested  in neuropathophysiology  and brain plasticity under different conditions especially in an animal model of  the cerebellar  degeneration – Lurcher mutants and their healthy littermates wild-type mice. He also studies possibilities of influencing it.
