Dr. Alison Fleming
RSC Fellow, Academy of Social Sciences
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: Hormones and behavior, functional hypothalamic and limbic neuroanatomy, behavioral neuroscience, human mothering, maternal behavior
LONG
Alison Fleming is widely regarded as the pioneer of neurobiological research on maternal behaviour in laboratory animals and human mothers. She was the first to show that hormones do not control this behaviour one action at a time, but that they influence mothers’ emotions, perceptions, and learning, in relation to young in a way that depends on brain areas that comprise a “maternal circuit”. She has shown that animals’ abilities in competent mothering depend on brain changes that occurred in infancy when they were being mothered. She has shown, too, how comparable hormonal changes and experience affect human mothering.
