Elena Choleris is a professor at the University of Guelph, specializing in Neuroscience and Applied Cognitive Science. Her research primarily explores the neurobiological bases of social behavior and cognition in rodents, focusing on areas such as social neuroscience, learning, memory, and behavioral pharmacology. Choleris's lab investigates how neurochemicals, such as acetylcholine and oxytocin, influence social interactions and cognitive processes. She employs various methods including behavioral, surgical, and molecular biology techniques to understand the hormonal and neurochemical underpinnings of social cognition. Choleris's research also emphasizes diversity and inclusivity, welcoming students from underrepresented groups. With numerous collaborations across institutions in Canada and abroad, her work contributes significantly to our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying social behavior.
