Up to 1/3rd of adolescents and young adults showing risk signs and subtle symptoms (i.e., those meeting criteria for a clinical high-risk syndrome) will go on to develop a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia in a two-year period. The syndrome has received a good deal of attention because if clinicians can intervene early, they may be able to lessen or prevent the progression of illness progression all together.
Dr. Saltzman’s research focuses broadly on the integrative biology of biparental care. Her lab uses the monogamous California mouse (*Peromyscus californicus*), a species in which, unlike the vast majority of mammals, both parents invest extensively in raising their offspring. One major theme of her lab’s work is the effects of parenthood on parents’ morphology, physiology, and behavior.
