Genes, Brain, and Behavior
Overview
'Genes, Brain, and Behavior' is a multidisciplinary journal that explores the intricate relationship between genes, brain function, and behavior. It publishes cutting-edge research on the genetic basis of behavior, neurobiology, and the complex interplay between genes and the brain. This journal serves as a platform for scientists and researchers to share their findings and advancements in understanding the genetic and neural mechanisms underlying behavior.
