In our first episode, we talk with Associate Professor Bronwyn Graham. Bronwyn is an expert in the neurobiology of anxiety disorders, especially the role that sex hormones play. Join us as we talk with Bronwyn about how pre-clinical research (in other words, research in rats) helps us to better understand anxiety and its treatment. Bronwyn also sheds light the “gender biases” in pre-clinical research, and her discoveries about the impact of the menstrual cycle on female’s response to treatment. It’s equal parts scary and interesting!
