Dr. Renner's primary research goal is to gain an understanding of how gonadal hormones interact with monoamine neurotransmitters in the regulation of female sexual behavior. Current work in his laboratory involves the use of in vivo microdialysis to study steroid hormone effects on monoamine neurotransmitter release and behavior in freely moving animals.
