Biography
Dr. Scalia, a graduate of New York University, received his PhD in Neuroanatomy at the Downstate Medical Center in 1964, where he built his reputation for studies on the structure and connections of the olfactory system, leading to his discoveries on the parallel but separate projections of the main olfactory and vomeronasal systems. Dr. Scalia contributed to the development of methodologies for the detection of the anterograde transport of HRP, both at the LM and EM level, and used this method for studies on the visual pathway in species as diverse as the rat and the frog.
Research Interest
