Author Information
Author(s): Jane Gitschier
Primary Institution: University of California San Francisco
Conclusion
Catherine Dulac's research explores the relationship between pheromone receptors, genetic imprinting, and behavior in mice.
Supporting Evidence
- Catherine Dulac identified pheromone receptors in mice that influence their behavior.
- Her research indicates that genetic imprinting may affect behavior in newborn animals.
- Imprinted genes show different expression patterns in male and female brains.
Takeaway
Catherine Dulac studies how mice use special receptors to detect pheromones, which help them know how to behave, and how genes can influence these behaviors.
