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
new Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience book! This initiative led by @thekirbylab.bsky.social,with contributions from amazing scientists (and me 😯) is intended for UG with no presumed college-level science coursework, and presents the foundational pples of brain behavior-environm interactions.
I am so happy and thankful I got to contribute to this amazing project! Led and edited by @thekirbylab.bsky.social, this #NSF funded book is free for all and presents the foundational principles of brain behavior-environment interactions. openstax.org/details/book.... Please repost!

The Munley lab will use genetic, molecular, endocrine, and behavioral approaches within a comparative framework to study the seasonal and social regulation of behavioral plasticity in dominance hierarchies of African and Neotropical cichlid fishes. 🐟🧠🧬🍂
