Genes, behavior, and behavior genetics [PDF]

open access: yesWIREs Cognitive Science, 2016
According to the ‘first law’ of behavior genetics, ‘All human behavioral traits are heritable.’ Accepting the validity of this first law and employing statistical methods, researchers within psychology, sociology, political science, economics, and business claim to have demonstrated that all the behaviors studied by their disciplines are heritable—no ...

Comparative BAC-based mapping in the white-throated sparrow, a novel behavioral genomics model, using interspecies overgo hybridization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
BACKGROUND The genomics era has produced an arsenal of resources from sequenced organisms allowing researchers to target species that do not have comparable mapping and sequence information.

Shared genetic liability for alcohol consumption, alcohol problems, and suicide attempt: Evaluating the role of impulsivity

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2023
Heavy drinking and diagnosis with alcohol use disorder (AUD) are consistently associated with risk for suicide attempt (SA). Though the shared genetic architecture among alcohol consumption and problems (ACP) and SA remains largely uncharacterized ...

Cocaine self-administration in mice with forebrain knock-down of trpc5 ion channels [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/pb]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2013
Canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) channels are a family of non-selective cation channels that play a crucial role in modulating neuronal excitability due to their involvement in intracellular Ca2+ regulation and dendritic growth.

Discoveries Regarding the Genetic Determinism of Cognitive Processes and Human Behavior

open access: yesEIRP Proceedings, 2021
The paper presents the importance of the discoveries of behavioral genetics at the time and in the way of learning, growth, and development. Hereditary character transmission and the molecular mechanism of gene transmission are the main research topics

Adolescent Behavioral Characteristics Mediate Familial Effects on Alcohol Use and Problems in College-Bound Students

open access: yesSubstance Abuse: Research and Treatment, 2020
Background: Studies suggest a broad spectrum of behaviors associated with drinking. Consequently, it is unclear whether patterns of familial risk for psychopathology are directly or indirectly related to patterns of alcohol use and problems in late ...

Isoform-specific roles for AKT in affective behavior, spatial memory, and extinction related to psychiatric disorders

open access: yeseLife, 2020
AKT is implicated in neurological disorders. AKT has three isoforms, AKT1/AKT2/AKT3, with brain cell type-specific expression that may differentially influence behavior.

Control over stress accelerates extinction of drug seeking via prefrontal cortical activation

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress, 2015
Extinction is a form of inhibitory learning viewed as an essential process in suppressing conditioned responses to drug cues, yet there is little information concerning experiential variables that modulate its formation.

Molecular laterality encodes stress susceptibility in the medial prefrontal cortex

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
Functional lateralization of the prefrontal cortex has been implicated in stress and emotional disorders, yet underlying gene expression changes remains unknown.

Behavior genetics and postgenomics [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Sciences, 2012
AbstractThe science of genetics is undergoing a paradigm shift. Recent discoveries, including the activity of retrotransposons, the extent of copy number variations, somatic and chromosomal mosaicism, and the nature of the epigenome as a regulator of DNA expressivity, are challenging a series of dogmas concerning the nature of the genome and the ...
