Neurogenetics
Neurogenetics: is a method that stands at the center of some of the most exciting translational clinical and basic research in neurology and human genetics. Neurogenetics surfaced from advances made in molecular biology, genetics and a desire to understand the link between genes, behavior, the brain, and neurological disorders and diseases.
