The Mong Lab is a neurobiology based research group at the University of Maryland, Baltimore that investigates the entire arousal spectrum, including sleep, wake and drug-induced arousal. We evaluate how ovarian hormones may naturally modulate these states of arousal behaviorally, and investigate the mechanistic underpinnings that result in these behavioral changes. There are currently two major r
