Erica R. Glasper studies how parenting experience, social bonds, and stress hormones shape brain structure and behavior, using California mice (a species where both parents care for offspring) and other rodent models. Her work looks at how factors like paternal or maternal caregiving, partner separation, and early-life adversity affect brain areas involved in emotion and memory, immune signaling in the brain, and stress-related behavior, often comparing males and females. This research connects hormone biology, brain plasticity, and immune function to understand sex differences in caregiving and stress responses.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a dip around 2020-2021, followed by a steady increase to a recent peak of about 4-6 papers per year in 2024-2025.
