Research

Over the years the research activity in my laboratory has focused on afferent and efferent connections of the cerebellar cortex with special emphasis on the topographical organization of cerebellar corticonuclear and corticovestibular fibers. We have also investigated the direct connections between nuclei of the hypothalamus and the cerebellum (cortex and nuclei) and direct cerebellohypothalamic projections from the cerebellar nuclei to hypothalamic targets. We also collaborate with the Department of Neurosurgery on a number of projects that address important clinical issues. For the last several years we have been investigating the history of neuroscience with particular attention to events/persons/discoveries in the U.S.

Publications: Books

The covers illustrated are from three books authored or authored/edited by Dr. Haines. Their design integrates neural structure and function in a format useful to medical, graduate, and other student groups.

Teaching

My teaching efforts have been primarily in the area of Medical Neuroscience to first year medical students and to residents in Neurosurgery. Other instructional activity has included neuroanatomy to dental and allied health students, neurosurgical/neurological nurses, and residents in neurology.
