Dr. Sodhi's lab at Loyola University Chicago focuses on understanding how prenatal stress affects brain development and leads to differences in cognitive function between males and females. They investigate the role of RNA editing in glutamate receptors, which are crucial for learning and memory, to see how these processes differ between sexes. The ultimate goal is to identify new ways to enhance cognitive function and resilience to stress, potentially leading to improved treatments for disorders like depression and schizophrenia.
