Among ma ny\, her team is investigating the neurobiological bases of (1) social le arning whereby an individual acquires information from another individual\ , (2) social recognition\, individual identification and memory (3) sociab ility\, an individual's tendency to prefer to spend time with social vs no n social stimuli\, and (3) agonistic interactions in males and females. Th eir research involves small rodents\, mainly mice and it involves an integ ration of various aspects of neuroscience from Ethological to Pharmacologi cal\, Molecular and Genetic. Naturalistic behavioral models as well as an evolutionary interpretation of results are pivotal factors in our research . The involvement of the cholinergic\, dopaminergic\, oxytocinnergic\, an d estrogenic systems in the social transmission of food preferences and so cial recognition are\, at present\, the main focus of their research.\n\n  \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://womenshealthresearchcluster.com/wp-conte nt/uploads/2024/11/56000a44c2d5f_4.jpg CATEGORIES:Women’s Health Seminar Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20201101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
