Figure 1
Figure 1
Schematic illustration of developmental stages in the rat, from birth through senescence, which have often been the focus of early ontogenetic investigations in the field of developmental psychobiology (early postnatal/preweaning stage; early to late adolescence; young adulthood; adulthood; and senescence). The photos shown in Figure 1 were taken by Anny Gano and Dr. Tamara Doremus-Fitzwater. We are grateful for the excellent illustration work contributed by Igor Khramov in the production of this graphic.

Dr. Norman E. Spear, to whom this Special issue is dedicated. Skip has touched many lives throughout his 50 years in the field. His legacy will continue through the work of his students and collaborators. We are delighted to mark his retirement with publication of this Special Issue in his honor. This photo was taken by Jonathan Cohen/Binghamton University.

Photo from the Festschrift in honor of Dr. Norman E. Spear, which was held at Binghamton University in May 2014. The scientific symposium held at Binghamton University included more than 100 scientists from around the world, many of whom trained with, or are former/current colleagues of Dr. Spear. Support for the scientific symposium was provided by the Health Sciences Steering Committee and the Center for Development and Behavioral Neuroscience at Binghamton University. This photo was taken by Jonathan Cohen/Binghamton University.
