Research project funded by NIH NICHD to study neural mechanisms of maternal cue processing and social behavior development in infant mice, focusing on sensory neurons, gene expression, and sex differences.
Description
This project aims to understand the sensory encoding of maternal cues in the infant brain and its contribution to adult social behavior. It involves developing genetic and viral tools to investigate neural activity and gene expression in infant mice, mapping neuronal cell types, and exploring sex differences in early-life social processing.
