ADAPTIVE AND MALADAPTIVE SOCIAL BEHAVIOR

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 表示子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 我的研究集中在比较脊椎动物模型中适应性和适应不良社会行为的神经内分泌基础，以及这些状态如何通过社会经验促进。目前，我正在使用啮齿动物模型来研究青少年欺凌对成年期大脑单胺能活动、焦虑和精神兴奋反应的影响。 克里斯蒂娜·罗伯茨在2010年夏天与瓦特博士一起工作。 她得到了4000美元，实验室得到了1000美元。 2010年夏天，DWU的一名本科生研究员与瓦特博士一起工作。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. My research centers on the neuroendocrine bases of adaptive and maladaptive social behavior in comparative vertebrate models, and how these states may be promoted by social experience. At present I am using a rodent model to examine the effect of adolescent bullying on disruptions to brain monoaminergic activity, anxiety and psychostimulant responses in adulthood. Christina Roberts worked with Dr. Watt during the summer of 2010. She received $4000 and the laboratory received $1000. An undergraduate fellow from DWU worked with Dr. Watt during the summer of 2010.
