Dr. Kimble’s research concerns the behavioral effects of localized brain damage on various behaviors in the laboratory rat.  In particular, he is interested in following the behavioral consequences following fimbria-fornix and hippocampal lesions in rats.  He is also interested in the behavior of marsupials. 

Dr. Kimble is no longer accepting new students.
