Good evening,

When searching for literature, just use a search engine and use, as your first key word, 'ncbi', like this:

ncbi psych methylation gave me:

• The effects of DNA methylation on human psychology.
• Psychological factors and DNA methylation of genes related to immune/inflammatory system markers: the VA Normative Aging Study
