At first glance, when a baby takes their first step, it seems like a simple event. But behind that wobbly moment lies a ...

Current research in mouse behavioural genetics is directed towards understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern complex behaviours, such as biological rhythms, anxiety, and learning and ...

The age at which babies take their first steps is strongly influenced by their genes, according to new research from the ...

A new study has found a special genetic trait in herding dogs that makes them smart, with keen social skills. This signature, ...

In the first study of its kind, scientists analysed the genetic information of more than 70,000 infants. They identified 11 ...

Behavior Genetics: The leading journal concerned with the genetic analysis of complex traits - is published in cooperation with the Behavior Genetics Association. Nature Human Behavior:Nature Human ...

Genetics is the branch of science concerned ... including the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behaviour in the context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics ...

The historical context of modern human behaviour genetics and of this course itself is briefly described focussed on three core issues (i) how big do twin studies need to be, (ii) what is the effect ...

Drawing upon a wide range of disciplinary approaches, from pharmacology to electrophysiology, neurochemistry, genetics, behavioural economics, and experimental psychology, combined with the ...

The course will then frame biological psychology by reference to theories of concepts such as behavioural genetics, evolutionary psychology and the impact of hormones on behaviour. Following this, the ...

We will consider sources of individual variation from the micro-level (e.g. behavioural genetics) to the macro-level (e.g. socioeconomic position and resource distribution). Ultimately, the goal is to ...
