Neuroendocrinology & Behavior Laboratory

There are sex differences in the rates and presentation of most psychiatric disorders. High levels of stress make psychiatric disorders worse. The Neuroendocrinology and Behavior Laboratory (NBL) uses a variety of techniques from behavioral neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, and cellular and molecular biology to identify neurobiological mechanisms by which stressor exposure can bias males and females towards different disease-relevant pathology.
