Testosterone facilitates nonreproductive, context-appropriate pro-and anti-social behavior in female and male Mongolian gerbils
AM Kelly, RR Thompson - Hormones and Behavior, 2023 - Elsevier
A growing body of literature suggests that testosterone (T) rapidly modulates behavior in a
context-specific manner. However, the timescales in which T can rapidly mediate distinct …

Advancements in the study of neural mechanisms underlying mammalian grouping behaviour
AM Kelly - Frontiers in Ethology, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Despite the prevalence of large group-living in the animal kingdom, we know surprisingly
little about how the brain facilitates grouping behavior, particularly in mammals. In this brief …
