I apologize for the hiatus in blog posts, but The Gray Area is back with another shameless plug for Carry the One Radio! This month, we talk to Lisa Stowers, who is an Assistant Professor at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego. Her lab uses mice to study how chemical signals known as pheromones activate particular groups of neurons, and how this activity produces instinctive behaviors of fear, attraction, and aggression. By studying this system, Dr. Stowers hopes to shed new light on how the brain processes senses and generates behavior. Check it out at the link below!
