Stubbs Lab at PNRI

The Stubbs lab at the Pacific Northwest Research Institute was featured on KOMO News last night! Check out this short interview with Dr. Stubbs and learn more about our new study on the genetics of stress!

Is your stress level genetic? Local study examines the role played by DNA As worries about coronavirus start to ease, many people are left with other health conditions brought on by two years of living under the shadow of a global pandemic. Those include weight gain, depression, sleep issues, heavy alcohol and drug use are all up. A new study suggests that how one handles...

Hot off the virtual press! New paper from the Stubbs Lab at PNRI (Pacific Northwest Research Institute) : An epigenomic shift in amygdala marks the transition to maternal behaviors in alloparenting virgin female mice.

An epigenomic shift in amygdala marks the transition to maternal behaviors in alloparenting virgin female mice Adults of many species will care for young offspring that are not their own, a phenomenon called alloparenting. However, in many cases, nonparental adults must be sensitized by repeated or extended exposures to newborns before they will robustly display parental-like behaviors. To capture neurogenom...

An epigenomic shift in amygdala marks the transition from pup-aversive to maternal-like behaviors in alloparenting virgin female mice

An epigenomic shift in amygdala marks the transition from pup-aversive to maternal-like behaviors in alloparenting virgin female mice In many species, adults will care for young offspring that are not their own, a phenomenon called alloparenting. However, most nonparental adults experience an initial aversion to newborns, which must be overcome before a robust display of parental-like behaviors can begin. To capture neurogenomic e...
