The Phelps lab is broadly interested in animal social behavior, its neural, genetic and molecular mechanisms, and how those mechanisms evolve. Using “exotic” rodent models, we focus on the nature and consequences of…
The Phelps lab is broadly interested in animal social behavior, its brain mechanisms, and how those mechanisms evolve. We do a variety of work ranging from mechanisms of gene regulation to the fitness consequences of…
We have reconstructed the evolution of a neural social decision-making network across vertebrates and found that gene expression profiles in these behaviorally relevant brain regions are remarkably conserved. Our…
