M. E. Panero听received Honorable Mention for her first authored poster displayed at the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) annual conference. The research presented looked at dissociation and cortisol response during the Stressful Event Speech (SES). Posted 11/14/13.

Kelly Dumais,听Remco Bredewold,听Thomas Mayer听(B.S. '12), and听Alexa Veenema听have published an听听in the journal听Hormones and Behavior听on sex differences in the brain oxytocin system. Contrary to the prevailing view that oxytocin is more important for females than for males, they found that female rats (regardless of estrus phase) actually have much less oxytocin receptors than male rats in the majority of forebrain regions. They further showed that oxytocin receptor densities in amygdala subregions correlate with sex differences in social interest. These findings will help improve our understanding of sex-specific regulation of social behavior and possibly of sex-biases in social disorders. Posted 10/15/13.

Gorica Petrovich听has been selected for Fellow status in the Association for Psychological Sciences (APS).

Kelly Dumais, doctoral candidate in Alexa Veenema鈥檚 lab, received a highly competitive Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA). Kelly's research focuses on the neurobiological basis of sex-specific regulation of social behavior. This 2-year award allows her to employ a unique combination of techniques (including in vivo microdialysis and fMRI) to examine the role of oxytocin and its underlying neural circuits in mediating social interest in a rat model.
