The geometry of social avoidance: navigating social interactions
An experiment using a "choose-your-own-adventure" social interaction game suggests that social avoidance can be viewed as behavioral navigation with an abstract social space. This approach may offer new ways to understand and treat social avoidance.

Unraveling the Genetic Mysteries of Psychiatric Disorders
This study integrated genetic, exon-level transcriptomic and single-cell data, pinpointing 110 core genes and shared pathways like circadian rhythm, cortisol, and dopamine signaling. Affected genes are key in excitatory neurons in the prefrontal cortex, suggesting links to cognitive issues.
New Tools for Screening for Enivronmentally Influenced Epigenetic Disease Risk Factors
We are studying how epigenetic modifications, changes to DNA structure that affect gene expression, without any DNA sequence changes, translate environmental exposures to disease risk. We have designed a new tool that will allow rapid screening to identify genes affected in any disease or exposure.
