| Katherine | Tschida | Psychology | Effects of social isolation on vocal communication | 2020 | Fall | PI | Cornell College of Arts and Sciences | CCSS Grant | |
| Katherine | Tschida | Psychology | Developmental emergence of social communication | Infant mammals produce reflexive distress vocalizations and later produce social vocalizations in response to social partners. We will characterize the emergence of social vocalizations in wild-type and autism spectrum disorder model mice, which will help identify brain mechanisms that underlie the emergence of social communication. |

| Katherine | Tschida | Psychology | Role of Social Touch in Regulating Susceptibility to Isolation-induced Aggression. | Social isolation increases aggression in men and women, but studies of isolation-induced aggression have historically focused on males. We propose a novel paradigm for isolation-induced aggression in female mice to test the role of social touch in regulating susceptibility and resilience to social isolation. |
