Molecular Basis of Social Behavior
What makes us social creatures? The Geng lab uses the zebrafish model to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying social behavior and their implications for mental illnesses in humans, such as autism spectrum disorder.
From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
“Alone”, by Edgar Allan Poe
