Presentation description

Social instability stress (SIN) is a form of chronic stress marked by changes in peer group and home composition, such as being in the foster care system or displacement as a result of job insecurity or natural disaster. SIN leads to increases in depression, anxiety, and social deficits. Our project aims to understand how SIN affects social behavior and the brain, with the goal of identifying the brain regions and signaling molecules that are important for SIN's effect on social behavior.
