General Fields of Interest: Circadian Behavior and Physiology, Development, Integrative Biology, Neuroscience, Reproductive Behavior and Biology.
Study the photic and non-photic signals that entrain circadian rhythms of behavior and physiology, and the role of gonadal and stress hormones in the development and adult manifestation of those rhythms.
Use sheep to study the effects of prenatal steroid hormones and postnatal social interactions on gendered behavior and brain development.
