We investigated whether genetic differences in various forms of intraspecific aggression and
anxiety in four different genetic lines of mice (ie wild, outbred Swiss-CD1, inbred DBA/2 and …

Aggressive behavior is observed in many animal species, such as insects, fish, lizards,
frogs, and most mammals including humans. This wide range of conservation underscores …

Behavioral genetics is the study of the relationship between genes and behavior. There are
four main issues addressed by this scientific discipline:(1) understanding the extent to which …

Behavioral neuroscience research incorporates the identical high level of meticulous
methodologies and exacting attention to detail as all other scientific disciplines. To achieve …

Principles of Behavioral Genetics provides an introduction to the fascinating science that
aims to understand how our genes determine what makes us tick. It presents a …

Genes and environment are both essential and interdependent determinants of behavioral
responses. Behavioral genetics focuses on the role of genes on behavior. In this article, we …

The past decade has produced an explosion in the number and variety of genetic tools
available to neuroscientists, resulting in an unprecedented ability to precisely manipulate …

Evolutionary psychologists often overlook a wealth of information existing between the
