DISSERTATION RESEARCH: Field study: Do steroid hormones cause rapid changes in the behavior of a vocal teleost? Luke Remage-Healey and Andrew H. BassAbstractLike many vertebrates, human beings experience rapid fluctuations in plasma steroid hormones in response to environmental stimuli, such as winning a chess match or watching a favorite sports team lose a critical game. Despite this, the psychological and/or behavioral impact of rapid hormonal changes is poorly understood. Animal models provide a way to experimentally test how neural and hormonal mechanisms regulate rapid changes in behavior. This proposal outlines experiments that will test how rapidly-changing hormone levels may directly lead to rapid changes in vocal communication behavior in a teleost fish. In this study, experimental manipulation of the internal hormonal and external social environments will aid our understanding of the neural, behavioral and endocrine interactions that are common to all vertebrates, including humans. This project will also continue to train field assistants according to a strong commitment to advancing students from a variety of backgrounds and origins.

论文研究：实地研究：类固醇激素是否会导致发声硬骨鱼行为的快速变化？像许多脊椎动物一样，人类会经历血浆类固醇激素的快速波动，以应对环境刺激，例如赢得一场国际象棋比赛或观看一支最喜欢的运动队输掉一场关键比赛。尽管如此，人们对荷尔蒙快速变化对心理和/或行为的影响知之甚少。动物模型提供了一种从实验上测试神经和荷尔蒙机制如何调节行为快速变化的方法。这项提案概述了一些实验，这些实验将测试快速变化的荷尔蒙水平如何直接导致硬骨鱼发声交流行为的快速变化。在这项研究中，对内部荷尔蒙和外部社会环境的实验操作将有助于我们理解所有脊椎动物(包括人类)普遍存在的神经、行为和内分泌相互作用。该项目还将继续培训外地助理，以坚定地致力于提高来自不同背景和出身的学生的地位。
