Phoebe Mayne

Dr. Phoebe Mayne is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), The University of Queensland. Her research focuses on the intersection of vitamin D biology, synaptic plasticity, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. She investigates how environmental and molecular factors influence brain function, including studies on perineuronal nets and sex differences in decision-making behaviors in rodent models.

Her work bridges neurobiology, behavioral neuroscience, and clinical research. Key areas include vitamin D deficiency's impact on brain outcomes, synaptic mechanisms underlying cognitive function, and gender-specific neurobehavioral processes.

Dr. Mayne holds a PhD from The University of Queensland (2024), where her thesis explored perineuronal nets' roles in spatial learning and schizophrenia-related deficits. She has contributed to high-impact publications in journals like Trends in Neurosciences and Behavioural Brain Research.
