Research projects/interests:   I'm interested in how the brains of first-time mouse mothers change in order to allow a new suite of maternal behaviors to emerge. Our lab is particularly interested in protective defense of the young, also known as maternal aggression. We know that pheromonal input plays an important role in triggering aggression in mouse mothers. My research focuses on how the pheromonal sensing system differs between virgins and lactating mice, and how those changes lead to very different responses to a threatening stimulus
