Kindia was transferred to John F. Fulton's physiology laboratory at Yale in May 1931. Fulton was interested in surgically altering the brain and observing behavioral changes. His frontal lobe ablation studies are often cited as precursors to the use of lobotomies in humans to alter behavior. Kindia was killed in a cerebral operation experiment. She was approximately 4 years old.
