Kat’s review proposing the seasonal switch hypothesis for the neuroendocrine regulation of aggression was recently published as a featured article in Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism! This review is based, in part, on findings from Kat’s Ph.D. research in the Demas lab, in which she examined how melatonin controls seasonal aggression indirectly via steroid hormones in male and female Siberian hamsters.
