J. Thomas Curtis

This researcher studies how the brain, immune system, and hormones interact to influence behavior, using animal models such as prairie voles and mice. Work includes examining stress hormones, gut bacteria, inflammation, and opioid-related compounds and how these factors affect social bonding, sickness behavior, and stress responses, often looking at differences between males and females.

Publication output has remained fairly steady but modest over the past decade, averaging about two papers per year with some year-to-year fluctuation and no clear long-term growth or decline.
