Expertise: My research interests are in the areas of behavioral neuroscience and neuroendocrinology. Within these areas, my research focuses on the control of feeding behavior, meal patterns, and body weight by ovarian hormones (estrogen, progesterone), sites and mechanisms of action of steroid hormones within the brain, and interactions between the immune system, endocrine system, and the brain. Student research projects in my lab cover a wide range of topics including: sex differences in feeding behavior and body weight regulation; interactions between the immune and endocrine systems; sex differences in disease anorexia; and estrogen-induced changes in gene expression within the brain.
