Courtney Dye studies how the brain changes during pregnancy and the postpartum period, focusing on immune cells in the brain (microglia), stress hormones, and brain structures involved in maternal caregiving behavior. Using animal models, this research examines how factors like chronic stress, opioid exposure, and immune system changes affect maternal brain function and behavior, with relevance to understanding postpartum mental health conditions in humans.
Publication output increased from none in 2017-2018 to a peak around 2021-2022, followed by a slight decline through 2024, averaging about 1.6 papers per year over the last five years.
