Project

Unraveling the interaction between testosterone and thyroid hormones and their impact on seasonal changes inthe songbird brain.

We will follow the seasonal plasticity in SCS nuclei of male starlings with appropriate MRI tools and investigate the expression of receptors and enzymes that are essential in T and TH function in the SCS. Combining data from control birds and birds where T and TH availability has been manipulated will allow us to identify their individual impact as well as unravel their interactions.
