Behavioral Neurogenomics

Behavioral Neurogenomics, edited by Elisabeth B. Binder and Torsten Klengel, provides an overview of recent developments across behavioral genomic research. The volume highlights how initially separate areas of study are intertwining to clarify the complex nature of behavior in both health and disease.

The text focuses on current understanding of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms within the brain. It examines how these biological processes contribute to psychiatric disorders as well as the formation of behavioral traits.

Contributing authors offer diverse viewpoints, beginning with genetic approaches that connect specific genetic variants functionally with observed behavioral phenotypes. The collection also highlights a broad spectrum of epigenetic mechanisms linked to behavior.
