I am interested in how the external environment controls the internal condition of the organism, especially how the social interactions are processed in the brain and translated into neuronal and hormonal signals. I am also interested in how the hormonal signals regulate the neuronal system to prepare for social interactions in the colony. I would like to analyze these phenomena in birds and in humans.
