Sex steroid hormones regulate regions of the mammalian brain that support a multitude of higher-order cognitive functions.
About this event
Sex steroid hormones regulate regions of the mammalian brain that support a multitude of higher-order cognitive functions. In this talk, Dr. Emily Jacobs will share recent findings from her lab, which uses multi-modal brain imaging, endocrine, and computational approaches to understand the extent to which sex hormones influence the structural and functional architecture of the human brain.
Major initiatives include the study of neuroendocrine aging during the midlife transition to menopause, pharmacological studies of gonadal hormone suppression, and dense-sampling studies across the menstrual cycle.
Speaker: Dr. Emily Jacobs is an Associate Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences. She holds a B.A. in Neuroscience from Smith College and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from UC Berkeley. Prior to UCSB, she was an Instructor at Harvard Medical School and in the Department of Medicine/Division of Women's Health at Brigham & Women's Hospital.
