New paper out!
A fun collaboration with the Dent Lab was just published in PLoS One!
In this study, we show that there are sex differences in the auditory brainstem responses of Long Evans rats to pure tones, particularly at low (1 and 4 kHz) and high (32 and 42 kHz) frequencies. Check it out here.
Congratulations Charlton et al.!

Kelcie’s second paper was accepted!
Congratulations to Kelcie on her second first-author paper. Here, she shows that adolescent male rats exhibit higher social reinforcement responding than adolescent female rats. Furthermore, she showed that this sex difference is absent in adolescent Brattleboro rats, which lack the neuropeptide vasopressin!

Check out our new publication in Behavioral Neuroscience!
In this study we show that photoperiod regulates micro RNAs (specifically MiR-155) differently in males and females. This emphasizes the importance of testing both males and females in experiments!
