CU Psychology and Neuroscience faculty-member-to-be (Fall, 2016) Zoe Donaldson was in the news as a result of some research presented recently at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago. She and some colleagues at the University of Columbia study prairie voles, which mate for life. They found evidence of specific neurons that fire in the nucleus accumbens only when males interacted with their mates but not nonmates. Read the brief blurb on the Science news website (note that no researchers' names are mentioned in the blurb), or read the abstract about the research on the SfN website.
