High estrogen promoted male-directed social preference and more persistent choices. Knocking down estrogen receptor alpha in the medial prefrontal cortex abolished these estrogen-dependent behavioral changes. (3/n)

We combined longitudinal Neuropixels recordings in freely moving mice, social choice assay, quantitative behavioral phenotyping, and estrogen levels and receptor manipulations to investigate how estrogen reshapes cortical coding and connectivity for adaptive social decision-making. (2/n)

So excited to share my postdoctoral work!! How do hormones that fluctuate over hours to days reshape neural computations that guide moment-to-moment decisions? In this study, we investigated how estrogen alters cortical dynamics during social choice in female mice: doi.org/10.64898/202...
