Gene–Environment Interactions: Other Topics

摘要: The research being undertaken in the area of epigenesis is remarkable and revolutionizing our understanding psychology its biological influences. This chapter highlights differential susceptibility-resilience hypothesis certain polymorphisms, depending on degree environmental support received. Genetic-environment interaction (G x E) indicating complexities involved, supports notion complex interactions involving G X El E2. also indicates exogenous factors involved interactions. There are gene-gene generalist genes to consider, as well multi-gene multi-environment modeling E interactions). developmental pathways that described understand how these nuanced unfold neither nativist nor empiricist; they deny even a few basic, congenital modules at work early core knowledge domains. Neural networks become canalized through experience-dependent processes, Hebbian learning takes place; neurons develop interconnections repetitions or enhancements firing patterns. brain considered generalist. Mirror capable rapid found, might be mirror therapy. We social genomics social-environmental influences (e.g., perceived loneliness) can affect immune system response, survival, modern study genetics needs “environmentally conscious.”
