Animal studies reveal that the molecular wiring of the brain can be altered by heredity, the environment, and their interaction. A deeper molecular understanding of these interactions could be a potent antidote to societal concerns of genetic determinism for human behavior, but this requires a paradigm that extends beyond traditional genome-wide association study (GWAS).
动物研究表明,大脑的分子结构可以通过遗传、环境及其相互作用来改变。对这些相互作用的更深入的分子理解可能是对抗社会对人类行为的遗传决定论担忧的有力解毒剂,但这需要一种超越传统全基因组关联研究(GWAS)的范式。
