Neural Mechanisms Underlying Mate Preference and Selection Laboratory
Research in my laboratory focuses on the neural mechanism underlying mate preference and sexual selection. To address this question, we use rodents as model system and we will investigate the properties of candidate brain regions by measuring and perturbing their activity in behaving animals, using behavioral, electrophysiological and molecular tools.
