Stress, Pleasure, & Social Connection: How the Brain Reacts to Emotion to Shape Behavior

Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 1:30 PM to 3 PM
North University Community Library
All Ages
Free

Dr. Lisa Stowers of Scripps Research Institute will discuss how her laboratory focuses on basic neuroscience in determining how the brain creates and responds to emotion. Using male mice in a amimal model, responses to another animal entering the cage begin with the sensory system. Pheromones released are an indication of how social interactions will proceed. The lab has made several discoveries about specific pheromones that connect with emotional responses in mice. The research was originally funded by a grant from the National Institute of Health’s BRAIN Initiative.
