Behavioural Genomics - BBE306

In this unit students engage directly with research and primary scientific papers to explore the latest findings about the complex interactions between the genome and behaviour. Topics include: the extent to which our behaviour is determined by our heritable biology, how genes and genomes control behaviour; the mechanisms of learning and memory; the evolution and biological basis of instinct; and how our behaviour can influence our genome.
