CONNELLY LAB
Oxytocin.
Epigenetics.
Discovery.
Research in the Connelly Lab employs several approaches to a common question: How does the brain modulate social behavior? To dissect the complex phenotypes of social behavior, we seek to understand the molecular mechanisms of the oxytocin receptor and how the environment alters behavior across model systems and humans.
ABOUT
Our Mission
The Connelly Lab is interested in how experience modifies behavior across the lifespan. Current work focuses on parenting, the birth experience, the epigenetic regulation of the oxytocin system, and understanding the oxytocin receptor gene. We work to better understand the unique way that your brain and your genes impact how you interact with the world.
