Research/Areas of Interest:
My main research interest is on the involvement of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus on maternal behavior in female rats. I use behavioral, immunohistochemical, and molecular biological techniques to determine how this area of the brain regulates the onset maternal behavior in rats.
Most recently: Postpartum Stress and the Microbiome
