Free and open to the public

Dan Selvage grew up in Helena, Montana. He did his undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Oregon, and a Master鈥檚 in Anatomy at Cambridge University, where he researched the neural control of non-photic shifting of circadian rhythms under Michael Hastings. He then did his PhD at the University of Montana, where he studied the neural regulation of the hormonal cascade that causes ovulation in the lab of Craig Johnston. Following his PhD he was a postdoc in the lab of Catherine Rivier at the Salk Institute, where he studied a novel brain-testes neural pathway that regulates testosterone secretion. Dan is presently an Assistant Professor at the Idaho State University College of Pharmacy, where his lab studies the effects of gonadal hormones on brain-mediated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (or 鈥渟tress鈥) axis responses to alcohol.
