RAPID CHANGES IN GENE EXPRESSION WITHIN THE HYPOTHALAMO-PITUITARY-GONAD AXIS IN FEMALE EUROPEAN STARLINGS
Meeting Abstract 53.4 Sunday, Jan. 5 14:15 RAPID CHANGES IN GENE EXPRESSION WITHIN THE HYPOTHALAMO-PITUITARY-GONAD AXIS IN FEMALE EUROPEAN STARLINGS. PERFITO, N.*; GUARDADO, D.; BENTLEY, G.E.; Univ of California, Berkeley nperfito@berkeley.edu Producing fertile eggs requires that mates have functional gametes simultaneously. Prior to fertilization, female birds’ ovarian follicles must form a pre-ovulatory hierarchy and accumulate sufficient amounts […]
Glucocorticoids and complex natural stimuli enhance adult neurogenesis in weakly electric fish
Meeting Abstract 53.3 Sunday, Jan. 5 14:00 Glucocorticoids and complex natural stimuli enhance adult neurogenesis in weakly electric fish. DUNLAP, KD; Trinity College kent.dunlap@trincoll.edu Neurogenesis in the adult brain responds to both internal neuroendocrine signals and external sensory stimuli. In most species, glucocorticoids and external stimuli that elevate glucocorticoids inhibit neurogenesis. Here I present research showing that, […]
Does individual variation in corticosterone levels predict the behavioral response to ecologically relevant stressors
Meeting Abstract 53.5 Sunday, Jan. 5 14:30 Does individual variation in corticosterone levels predict the behavioral response to ecologically relevant stressors? VITOUSEK, MN*; WINKLER, DW; Cornell University; Cornell University mnv6@cornell.edu Within populations and sexes individuals can vary substantially in circulating glucocorticoid (GC) levels during exposure to acute stressors, and this variation has been found to predict […]
