About
Working with Profs. Kiran Soma and Stan Floresco, Dr. Daniel Tobiansky is currently exploring how local androgen synthesis in the mesocorticolimbic system influences motivated behaviors and decision making. In another line of research, he is exploring how sucrose (table sugar) in the maternal diet during pregnancy and lactation influences offspring behavior and the reward and neuroendocrine systems in adulthood.
