Our research

Maternal Behavior

Parental behavior is essential for offspring survival and can adapt to changes in ambient temperature. What are the neural circuits controlling this in mice?

Social Buffering

The presence of conspecifics can alleviate stress, a phenomenon called social buffering. Does oxytocin neuromodulation play a role?

Social Behavior during Sickness

Neural circuits for sickness-induced adaptations in social interactions.
