Social Neuro Endocrinology

About

Oliveira Lab

Oliveira Lab

We are interested in understanding the neuroendocrine mechanisms of social behaviour and how the social environment may feedback on the neuroendocrine system. In particular we are interested in the role of hormones as key physiological mediators underlying social plasticity.
