ژنتیک رفتاری در عصر پساجنومی

The second author is with the Univ. of Colorado, Boulder. Presents a discussion of genetic research on behavior and focuses on cognitive abilities, personality, psychopathology, and psychopharmacology. Written for psychology, psychiatry, behavioral, biomedical, and biological sciences professionals.

the Human Genome Project Which Has Provided A Working Draft Of The Sequence Of Dna In The Human Genome Is A Remarkable Scientific Achievement. In This Postgenomic World, It Appears That All Genes And All Dna Variation Will Eventually Be Known. For Behavioral Researchers, This Is Especially Exciting Because Behavioral Dimensions And Disorders Are The Most Complex Traits Of All. To Understand These Traits, We Need To Understand The Roles Of Many Genes And Many Environmental Influences.

This Book Assesses The Present And Future Of Genetic Research On Behavior. The Editors Have Assembled A Group Of Distinguished Contributors To Assess Both The Progress And The Promise Of Quantitative And Molecular Genetic Analysis Of Behavior. Particularly Significant Are New Techniques That Have Made It Possible To Identify Genes For Complex Quantitative Traits.

Behavioral Genetics In The Postgenomic Era Focuses On Those Aspects Of Behavior About Which Behavioral Genetics Reveals The Most. These Include Cognitive Abilities And Disabilities, Personality, Psychopathology, And Psychopharmacology. This Book Will Appeal Not Just To Psychologists And Psychiatrists, But To Anyone In The Behavioral, Biomedical, And Biological Sciences Interested In The Genetics Of Behavior.

[et al.]. The Human Genome Project, which has provided a working draft of the sequence of DNA in the human genome, is a remarkable scientific achievement. In this "postgenomic" world, all genes and all DNA variations will eventually be known. For behavioral researchers, this is especially exciting, because behavioral dimensions and disorders are the most complex traits of all. To understand these traits, we need to understand the respective roles of multiple genes and multiple environmental influences.The goal of this book is to assess where we are and where we are going in genetic research on behavior. The editors have assembled an international group of distinguished contributors who assess progress and promise in both quantitative genetic analysis and molecular genetic analysis of behavior. Particularly significant is a new generation of genetic markers that has made it possible to identify genes for complex quantitative traits. These traits are influenced by multiple genes (QTLs) as well as by multiple environmental factors. The QTL perspective suggests that genetic variation is normal and has implications for thinking about mental illnesses, which has come to be seen as abnormal extremes of quantitative traits.The book focuses on those aspects of behavior about which behavioral genetics reveals the most. These include cognitive abilities and disabilities, personality, psychopathology, and psychopharmacology. The book will appeal not just to psychologists and psychiatrists but to anyone in the behavioral, biomedical, and biological sciences interested in the genetics of behavior. So great are the implications of behavioral genetics for the practice of psychology in the 21st century that the editors note, "Psychologists will eventually be in the business of preventing the consequences of gene expression." cover.jpg......Page 1 200304002-FRM.pdf......Page 2 200304002-001.pdf......Page 21 200304002-002.pdf......Page 34 200304002-003.pdf......Page 56 200304002-004.pdf......Page 70 200304002-005.pdf......Page 85 200304002-006.pdf......Page 101 200304002-007.pdf......Page 114 200304002-008.pdf......Page 133 200304002-009.pdf......Page 149 200304002-010.pdf......Page 170 200304002-011.pdf......Page 189 200304002-012.pdf......Page 208 200304002-013.pdf......Page 230 200304002-014.pdf......Page 250 200304002-015.pdf......Page 270 200304002-016.pdf......Page 292 200304002-017.pdf......Page 310 200304002-018.pdf......Page 336 200304002-019.pdf......Page 363 200304002-020.pdf......Page 387 200304002-021.pdf......Page 422 200304002-022.pdf......Page 439 200304002-023.pdf......Page 457 200304002-024.pdf......Page 475 200304002-025.pdf......Page 496 200304002-026.pdf......Page 521 200304002-BKM.pdf......Page 531 The goal of this book is to assess the status of genetic research on behavior.
