Neurogenetics II: complex disorders.
The genetic analysis of common neurological disorders will be a difficult and protracted endeavour. Genetics is only one of many disciplines that will be required but it has already thrown considerable light on the aetiology of several major neurological disorders through the analysis of rare inherited subgroups. The identification of individual susceptibility genes with variants of smaller eff...
متن کاملNEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Neurogenetics: single gene disorders
The advent of molecular biology has changed the way in which neurological illnesses are classified, and the single genes causing a number of disorders have been identified. In addition, techniques such as linkage analysis and DNA sequencing have resulted in greater understanding of multi-gene diseases. This review covers some of the molecular tools and animal models used for genetic analysis an...
متن کاملDopaminergic Neurogenetics of Sleep Disorders in Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS).
It is well-known that sleep has a vital function especially as it relates to prevention of substance-related disorders as discussed in the DSM-V. We are cognizant that certain dopaminergic gene polymorphisms have been associated with various sleep disorders. The importance of "normal dopamine homeostasis" is tantamount for quality of life especially for the recovering addict. Since it is now kn...
متن کاملComputational Neurogenetics
Neuroscience, along with information and mathematical sciences, has developed a variety of theoretical and computational models to model complex brain functions. Along with this development, artificial neural networks – computational models that adopt principles from the nervous system, have been developed to become powerful tools for learning from data and generalisation. Artificial neural net...
متن کاملNeurogenetics, in Caenorhabditis elegans
The human brain is an extraordinarily complex and beautiful organ. It has one hundred billion neurons and an inestimable number of synaptic connections. Since there are very few opportunities to ethically test experimental hypotheses on the human brain, we rely on model organisms to understand how neurons work in humans. Such an organism, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with a total of onl...
