| Research Interests: My research concerns the interrelationship between hormones and behavior. The focus of the current work in my lab is on the neural mechanisms through which pheromones affect the reproductive physiology and behaviors of mice and on how hormones and familiarity modifies the responses of mice to these pheromones. |
