A bifunctional optical reporter for tracking estrogen response dynamics in neurons

Alexandra L. Cara, Eartha Mae Guthman, Aarya Mishra, Alexanne L. Hall, Sae Yokoyama, Hannah N. Azadi, Ian Gregg, Rosalizbeth M. Martinez, Norma P. Sandoval, Krisha Aghi, Kiran K. Soma, Stephanie M. Correa, Annegret L. Falkner, J. Edward van Veen

This paper introduces a bifunctional optical reporter, neuro-seeER, to track estrogen response dynamics in neurons in vivo and demonstrates its utility in capturing both exogenous and endogenous estrogen responses.

Neural basis of collective social behavior during environmental challenge

Tara Raam, Qin Li, Linfan Gu, Gabrielle Elagio, Kayla Y. Lim, Jay Y. Taimish, Xingjian Zhang, Norma P. Sandoval, Stephanie M. Correa, Weizhe Hong

The paper investigates how mice collectively coordinate behavior during cold exposure, showing distinct neural encoding in the dmPFC for active and passive huddle decisions.

Sex-specific thermoregulatory effects of estrogen signaling in Reprimo lineage cells

Jae W. Park, Laura R. Cortes, Norma P. Sandoval, Adriana R Vree, Alejandra G Baron, Kelly A. Vranich, Higor J Fideles, Rosalizbeth M. Martinez, Elizabeth A. Dilday, Mia R. Hansen, Weronika Budek, Julissa I Lopez, Laura G. Kammel, J. Edward van Veen, Stephanie M. Correa

This study shows estrogen signaling in Reprimo lineage cells affects thermoregulation in female mice by altering brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, but not in males.
