Excited to share that I received #Sfn2025 ‘s Professional Trainee Development Award!
Check out my poster M9 “Dopamine dynamics in the nucleus accumbens during maternal behavior in postpartum and virgin CBA/CaJ mice” tonight at the Early Career Development Session, 6:45–8:45 p.m.

And here is the story after peer review. This work highlights our current approach, which is to use Piezo channels to uncover new areas of biology that are shaped by mechanical forces: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

When pregnant mothers experience social disadvantage, the brains of their newborns have measurably different functional connectivity, especially in the amygdala, an area with links to psychiatric disorders. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! We looked at how dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains—turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all!
Comparing CD1 & C57 male mice, we found strain-specific dominance behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab…🧵

In our new preprint, we describe the interplay of oxytocin and sex hormones through the lenses of evolution, development, mechanism, and purpose

New preprint from our group, led by @kristinaud.bsky.social 🎉
We report a pre-registered meta-analysis on the effects of oxytocin on social and routinized behaviours in autism, with and without publication bias adjustment.
Fantastic work from Kristin!
