Molecular-Genetic and Statistical Techniques for Behavioral and Neural Research
Author: Robert T. Gerlai
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128041161
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 710
Book Description
Molecular-Genetic and Statistical Techniques for Behavioral and Neural Research presents the most exciting molecular and recombinant DNA techniques used in the analysis of brain function and behavior, a critical piece of the puzzle for clinicians, scientists, course instructors and advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Chapters examine neuroinformatics, genetic and neurobehavioral databases and data mining, also providing an analysis of natural genetic variation and principles and applications of forward (mutagenesis) and reverse genetics (gene targeting). In addition, the book discusses gene expression and its role in brain function and behavior, along with ethical issues in the use of animals in genetics testing. Written and edited by leading international experts, this book provides a clear presentation of the frontiers of basic research as well as translationally relevant techniques that are used by neurobehavioral geneticists. - Focuses on new techniques, including electrocorticography, functional mapping, stereo EEG, motor evoked potentials, optical coherence tomography, magnetoencephalography, laser evoked potentials, transmagnetic stimulation, and motor evoked potentials - Presents the most exciting molecular and recombinant DNA techniques used in the analysis of brain function and behavior - Written and edited by leading international experts

Living with Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and 47, Xyy: A Guide for Families and Individuals Affected by X and Y Chromosome Variations
Author: Virginia Isaacs Cover Msw
Publisher: Virginia Isaacs Cover
ISBN: 9780615574004
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
This comprehensive guide to X and Y chromosome aneuploidy is written in lay language for affected individuals and their families, providing an authoritative volume that explains X and Y chromosome variations in clear and accurate terms. These surprisingly common genetic conditions, affecting 1 in 500 individuals, include Klinefelter syndrome, Trisomy X and 47,XYY. This guide provides a lifespan approach to the three trisomy conditions, as well as their less common variations involving 48 and 49 chromosomes. Readers are provided clear explanations of the genetics involved, diagnosis and disclosure issues, development from infancy through early adulthood, potential health and fertility concerns, and educational and psychosocial considerations. The text is illustrated with actual quotations from those who live with the disorders, and provides not only descriptions of potential concerns, but also strategies for successfully addressing the challenges that may develop.

Mobilizing Mutations
Author: Daniel Navon
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022663809X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
With every passing year, more and more people learn that they or their young or unborn child carries a genetic mutation. But what does this mean for the way we understand a person? Today, genetic mutations are being used to diagnose novel conditions like the XYY, Fragile X, NGLY1 mutation, and 22q11.2 Deletion syndromes, carving out rich new categories of human disease and difference. Daniel Navon calls this form of categorization “genomic designation,” and in Mobilizing Mutations he shows how mutations, and the social factors that surround them, are reshaping human classification. Drawing on a wealth of fieldwork and historical material, Navon presents a sociological account of the ways genetic mutations have been mobilized and transformed in the sixty years since it became possible to see abnormal human genomes, providing a new vista onto the myriad ways contemporary genetic testing can transform people’s lives. Taking us inside these shifting worlds of research and advocacy over the last half century, Navon reveals the ways in which knowledge about genetic mutations can redefine what it means to be ill, different, and ultimately, human.
