Our Genes, Our Choices: How Interactions Between Genotypes and Genes Affect Behavior, 2nd Edition. How the complexities of human behavior, including the concept of freedom, come from small genes that determine the level of neurological development. This explains how it works. Do people have free will or do their genes determine their behavior? Paradoxically, the answer to both of these questions is “yes”. Because neurogenic behavior is a new theory with enormous implications. Here, author David Goldman uses legal, political, medical, and practical examples to demonstrate how this lifestyle is determined by social interaction, factors such as the individual’s genotype, molecules, and the body, as well than by conflicts and environmental selection. actions and choices we make, this explains the outcome. Don’t choose. Written in a non-authoritative format, this book includes an explanation of how DNA works, a discussion of the science and history of genetics, and an introduction to the subject of epigenetics and the predictive power of genetic behavior.
In the decade since the publication of the first edition, our understanding of genetic influences on the neurogenetic underpinnings of behavior has been transformed by genomic technologies. For example, studies from the Genome-Wide Association have shown that hundreds of genes impact mental health and an innate propensity for risky behaviors. This new edition has been carefully edited with a focus on independence and its neurogenic origins. Additionally, we discuss in depth the use of polygenic scores for behavioral prediction, related to the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) revolution and the combination of predictive gene models into polygenic scores. The chapter on epigenetics is also expanded, better defined and linked to the link between genetics and the environment. Throughout, diagrams and illustrations have been added or improved, and disease classifications and definitions have been updated.
An update to the previous edition, winner of the 2013 BMA Best Medical Book Award for Basic and Clinical Sciences
Challenges to moral responsibility created by modern genetics and neuroscience are presented and addressed.
Identifying the neurogenetic origins of human behavior and autonomy.
It features interesting sections on the neurogenetic basis of independence, polygenic risk scores, and behavioral interventions, as well as the development of new images and concepts.
