We’re recruiting a PhD student to join our lab at UCLA! (we’re also recruiting a postdoc; details posted separately). Our lab studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying social behavior using the African cichlid Astatotilapia burtoni as a model. @sbn-bsky.bsky.social 1/3

I’m looking to hire a postdoc to join our lab at UCLA! We study the genes, hormones, and cells that regulate social behavior in the African cichlid Astatotilapia burtoni (in a separate post we’re looking for a PhD student) @sbn-bsky.bsky.social 1/3

I had the opportunity to write a research briefing for Nature, in which I summarized our recent work in African Striped Mice. It’s a short read for anyone who wants a quick overview! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A genetic switch turns off parental behaviour and drives infanticide in male striped mice

In striped mice, the social environment affects expression of the Agouti gene, which in turn can drive pup-directed hostility.

FIRST PAPER OUT OF MY LAB!! Here, we examined the polymorphic Gouldian finch brain and found that the regulatory gene coding for head color, follistatin, exhibits morph and sex-specific differences in key areas known to regulate social behaviors! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New work from my lab looking at how dopamine neurons are affected by stress and males and females! This paper comes to you through three rounds of major building construction, a pandemic, six months that we could not get TTX, some animal facility shenanigans and now is here on your internet!

Sex‐Specific Adaptations to VTA Circuits Following Subchronic Stress

Subchronic variable stress, a paradigm shown to have divergent behavioral effects in males and females, induces shared and distinct physiological adaptations in the VTA. While both males and females ...

Check out this free behavioral neuroscience textbook and give @nduquewilckens.bsky.social a follow. Her lab is studying how mast cells acting in the brain can modulate behavior
