Johns, Joey |
drug abuse, oxytocin, maternal behavior and aggression, infant development and behavior, neuroendocrinology |
Our research examines the effects of drugs of abuse on maternal behavior and infant behavior and development. We employ methods ranging from behavioral pharmacological to molecular biological and collaborate with scientists from many different departments. |
| Lohmann, Kenneth |
neural mechanisms, electrophysiology |
Neural mechanisms underlying the detection of magnetic fields and geomagnetic orientation. |
|
Sockman, Keith |
auditory forebrain, behavior, birdsong, catecholamine, evolution, field biology, monoamine, neuroecology, neuroethology, reproduction |
Using songbirds as a study system, laboratory approaches are used to investigate the neural integration of ecological and social cues regulating life-history trade-offs and reproductive decisions such as mate-choice, courtship, reproductive timing, and reproductive effort.
