Puberty, a process nearly all of us are familiar with - voice cracks and growth spurts to sudden mood swings and acne surprises all included! But how does puberty actually begin? In this episode, Rhianon and Uka sit down with Nidhi Madhusudan, to talk about the key to puberty - Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH). Join us to dive into how GnRH triggers puberty from within the brain, what it takes to study such processes in the lab and some exciting findings from Nidhi’s research to date. Nidhi Madhusudan has an MSc in Neuroscience from Graduate school of Systemic Neurosciences LMU Munich and is currently a doctoral researcher in the Raivio lab at The University of Helsinki.
