Achievements

First demonstration of the requirement of serotonin for animal locomotion (Glover and Kramer, Science, 1984).
Invented the technique of retrograde labeling using conjugated dextrans, now used world-wide (Glover et al., J. Neurosci. Methods, 1986).
First demonstration of clonal relationships giving rise to neuron columns in a laminar brain structure, and the progression from symmetric to asymmetric divisions in clones of neural stem cells (Gray et al., PNAS, 1988).
First description of the development of an identified spinal interneuron in an amniote embryo (Eide and Glover, J. Neurosci., 1996).
Demonstration of a retinoid-dependent segmental patterning of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (Forehand et al., PNAS, 1998)
Segmental analyses of reticulospinal and vestibular projection neurons in avians and mammals (Glover and Petursdottir, J. Neurobiol., 1991; Diaz et al., Dev. Biol. 1998; Auclair et al., J. Comp. Neurol., 1999; Pasqualetti et al., J. Neurosci., 2007).
First demonstration of an in vivo differentiation of adult human non-neural somatic stem cells to neurons (SIgurjonsson et al., PNAS, 2006).
First characterization using dynamic imaging methods of the emergence of an entire polysynaptic reflex pathway in a vertebrate (Glover et al., submitted).
