Trans-seasonal activation of brain GnRH Mechanisms underlying temperature-induced reproduction
Meeting Abstract 102.1 Wednesday, Jan. 7 08:00 Trans-seasonal activation of brain GnRH: Mechanisms underlying temperature-induced reproduction. LUTTERSCHMIDT, D.I.*; LUCAS, A.R.; Portland State University d.lutterschmidt@pdx.edu All animals use environmental cues to accurately time life-history events. How the brain decodes information about the environment to produce adaptive changes in physiology and behavior, however, is poorly understood. We asked if […]
