Research Information

Researchers in Dr. Victor Viau’s lab explore sex differences and roles for the sex steroid hormones to influence normal stress coping responses and where this occurs within the central nervous system. Understanding circuit, transmitter and cellular mechanisms of stress in the rodent brain provides insight into why some disorders linked to stress are seen more commonly in one sex than the other, including mood, metabolic and cardiovascular disorders.
