Exploring the Dynamic Interaction Between Genes, Environment and the Brain
A Symposium on Epigenetics at the 3rd Scientific Meeting of the ESN 8 September 2011 in Basel, Switzerland Cosponsored by the Association for Psychological Science and the Federation of the European Societies of Neuropsychology With modern advances in a number of scientific disciplines, we have moved from looking at genetic versus environmental factors to looking at the interplay between these factors in understanding individual differences in behavior. In the process of development, the expression of genes is shaped by environmental experience, producing stable changes in individual characteristics that can persist within and across generations.
