Professor Mcclure researches the effects of mild prenatal stress on the development of adult rats. His work is driven by the hypothesis that devastating human diseases, such as schizophrenia, are partially caused by prenatal factors, where challenges presented to the mother can cause structural changes in the brain that lead to the development of these diseases in the affected child as they reach young adulthood. Currently, he is studying animals as useful models for schizophrenia. In his latest experiments, he examined the effects of puberty on the development of adult deficiencies in neuroanatomy. He plans to further examine this model in the future to determine the involved cells, neurochemical changes, and the behavioral outcomes in these animals.
