Human Genetics and Genetic Diseases

Neurogenetics

Neurogenetics examines the influence of genetic factors on the development and function of the nervous system, highlighting how hereditary variations impact neurological traits and disorders. This interdisciplinary field integrates insights from both genetics and neurology, focusing on how genetic variations can manifest in neural features and affect an individual's neurological health, behaviour, and personality. By studying these genetic influences, neurogenetics aims to enhance our understanding of both typical and atypical nervous system function, contributing to the comprehension of genetic foundations underlying neurological conditions.
