This study was extension of studies proposed in the current projects, with behavioral studies examining how external factors during puberty could influence normal pubertal brain development.

This suggest possible epigenetic influences of social isolation and currently we are studying epigenetic regulation of vasopressin receptor in social and socially isolate mice.
