NEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Neurogenetics: single gene disorders
The advent of molecular biology has changed the way in which neurological illnesses are classified, and the single genes causing a number of disorders have been identified. In addition, techniques such as linkage analysis and DNA sequencing have resulted in greater understanding of multi-gene diseases. This review covers some of the molecular tools and animal models used for genetic analysis an...
متن کاملComputational Neurogenetics
Neuroscience, along with information and mathematical sciences, has developed a variety of theoretical and computational models to model complex brain functions. Along with this development, artificial neural networks – computational models that adopt principles from the nervous system, have been developed to become powerful tools for learning from data and generalisation. Artificial neural net...
متن کاملNeurogenetics and Behaviour in Insects
The importance of the genome for behaviour has been amply demonstrated by the tools of population genetics. A deeper understanding of the relationship between genes and behaviour requires an investigation of how they influence brain development and neuronal function. This is the objective of neurogenetics. Rigid genetic control of brain structure in insects is indicated by bilateral symmetry an...
متن کاملPsychiatric genetics, neurogenetics, and neurodegeneration
Neuropsychiatric disorders are common, complex, and severe disorders that affect the core of a person: their emotions, intellect, and ability to self-regulate. Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from these disorders; nevertheless, the factors that lead to the manifestation of symptoms are poorly understood. Neuropsychiatric disorders are characterized by heterogeneity, which means that di...
متن کاملNeurogenetics, in Caenorhabditis elegans
The human brain is an extraordinarily complex and beautiful organ. It has one hundred billion neurons and an inestimable number of synaptic connections. Since there are very few opportunities to ethically test experimental hypotheses on the human brain, we rely on model organisms to understand how neurons work in humans. Such an organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with a total of onl...
