Overview

Kim L. Huhman is affiliated with Georgia State University in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a specific focus on social psychology and behavioral neuroscience.

Their research primarily addresses neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, stress responses and cortisol, and neurotransmitter receptor influence on behavior. Additional topics of study include tryptophan and brain disorders, receptor mechanisms and signaling, neuropeptides and animal physiology, and circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Notable recent publications include:

  • Ingestion of probiotic (Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum) alters intestinal microbial structure and behavioral expression following social defeat stress, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Sex-dependent effects of social status on the regulation of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) V1a, oxytocin (OT), and serotonin (5-HT) 1A receptor binding and aggression in Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), 2020, Hormones and Behavior
  • CRISPR-Cas9 editing of the arginine-vasopressin V1a receptor produces paradoxical changes in social behavior in Syrian hamsters, 2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Dietary emulsifier consumption alters gene expression in the amygdala and paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in mice, 2022, Scientific Reports
  • Sex differences in the impact of social status on social reward and associated mesolimbic activation, 2023, Physiology & Behavior
