This NIH research grant supports a study on how prefrontal brain circuits contribute to resilience and social dominance, examining neural mechanisms and sex differences in response to stress.
Description
The research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying resilience to traumatic life events, particularly the role of prefrontal circuits in producing resilience and social dominance. The study investigates how behavioral control and social dominance engage similar neural circuits to produce resilience against future stressors, with a focus on sex differences.
