Decision-Making: is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decision-making process produces a final choice, which may or may not prompt action.
The promise of precision and personalized medicine is rooted in accurate, highly sensitive, and specific disease biomarkers. This is particularly true for cancer-a disease characterized by ma...
More and more decisions will center on the ability to molecularly characterize a disease. So the molecular diagnostic laboratory will have a pivotal role. What does that look like? Will we be...
Genetic testing currently plays a relatively niche role in healthcare, with testing typically limited to single genes and targeting a relatively narrow range of diseases, including paediatric...
Many computational approaches exist for predicting the effects of amino acid substitutions from protein sequence. These are often (incorrectly) used for judging disease predisposition from in...
Next-generation sequencing is expected to take molecular diagnostics to the next level with the capability to perform deep analysis of genetic information that leads to targeted therapies per...
As next generation sequencing has lowered the price of DNA sequencing orders of magnitude below what it cost to create the first consensus human genome, the sheer diversity of human sequence...
The idea of schizophrenia typically conjures up images of people who hear voices, see visions and have delusional beliefs. However, clinicians have long recognized cognitive dysfunction as on...
We are nearing three decades of research on the neural circuits of Pavlovian fear conditioning. The advent of new techniques such as genetic and optogenetic manipulations have greatly advance...
Although there have been enormous advances in gene sequencing, the results give massive amounts of data that only point to disease risk. Major health factors, including diet, lifestyle, envir...
The starting point for an interaction between a patient and a clinician is almost always a set of clinical facts (aka a phenotype). Phenotype-first medicine is the standard way in which the p...
