CONNELLY LAB
Oxytocin.
Epigenetics.
Discovery.
Research in the Connelly lab is focused on the dissection of complex phenotypes and human disease at the level of transcription and epigenetic regulation. Our current projects seek to understand the relationship between DNA methylation of the oxytocin receptor and individual differences in behavior in humans and model systems.
ABOUT
Our Mission
The Connelly lab is interested in how experience modifies behavior across the lifespan. Current work focuses on parenting, the birth experience, and the epigenetic regulation of the oxytocin system. We work to better understand the unique way that your brain and your genes impact how you interact with the world.
