Neurogenetics Research

Neurogenetics research studies how genes influence the development and function of the nervous system, including the brain. It explores the genetic factors behind neurological disorders, such as autism, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. By examining DNA and gene expression, scientists aim to understand how specific genes affect brain function and behavior. This field combines genetics and neuroscience to reveal insights that could lead to better treatments and interventions for various mental health and neurological conditions, ultimately improving our understanding of the biological basis of behavior and cognition.
