Features

Utilizes the expertise of leaders in the field

Includes both clinical and basic experimental material, and neurobiological and behavioral chapters

Maps functions to positions in human or mouse genome, and interprets mapping results with respect to genes likely to be involved or their likely mechanisms of action

Summary

Utilizing the flood of information derived from the Human Genome Project and corresponding efforts to elucidate the mouse genome, Genetic Influences on Neural and Behavioral Functions provides a scholarly catalog, organized logically, of relations between the expression of specific genes, nerve cell biology and behavior, normal and abnormal, in animals AND humans.
Sample topics include genes in relation to schiziphrenia, panic disorder, epilepsy, alcoholism, sleep, eating disorders, and more.
