Biography

Cameron Muir is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Brock University, where he focuses on behavioural neuroendocrinology and reproductive stress physiology. He investigates the physiological mechanisms underlying human sexual behaviour, particularly the roles of steroid hormones like estradiol and testosterone during reproductive periods amidst psychological stress. His research highlights the interaction between hormonal influences and pheromonal communication in mammals, addressing how social and sexual status can affect behaviours related to hormonal levels in bodily fluids. Muir's current studies aim to understand how psychological events correlate with hormonal changes and their impact on behaviour and development, with attention to the variability of steroid hormones and their role in biological and psychological adaptation. He is dedicated to exploring these dynamics within the context of changing environmental stresses and challenges.
