Mariana was awarded an NIH K99 to continue examining how hormones shape neural responses to acoustic cues. This grant will allow her to shift her future research focus to study the mechanisms of transient deafness in tadpoles. Hurray!

Our primary goal is to understand the processes that shape evolutionary trajectories. We focus on the mechanisms of convergent evolution of behavioral and morphological traits. We link molecular, neural, and developmental mechanisms to their consequences for organismal phenotypes, and we investigate the neural and hormonal mechanisms of context- or experience-dependent changes in behavior.
