Behavioral genetics is uncovering how our DNA, brain activity, and environment interact to shape who we are — from personality to mental health risks. Advances in neuroscience, genomics, and data ...

Behavioral genetics explores how genes and environment intertwine to shape intelligence, personality, and behavior. From twin studies to genome-wide association research, scientists are uncovering how ...

I am interested in the application of the twin design and other behavioral genetic methods to understand the factors that give rise to youth mental health trajectories, particularly antisocial ...

Scientists studying 1,300 golden retrievers have uncovered genetic clues explaining why some dogs are more anxious, energetic, or aggressive than others. Remarkably, several of the same genes linked ...

Following my May 2022 post about Elinor Karlsson’s Science article on the genetic survey of dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project, and its conclusion that a dog’s breed does not predict its behavior, ...

In Hungary, ethological research is most often identified with tests on dogs, but novel methodological advances could bring another species, the paradise fish, into the spotlight. Fish are easy to ...

A comprehensive assessment of twins and their families reveals that narcissistic traits are inherited genetically, ...

My research uses multivariate genomic methods to better understand the genetic architecture of neurodevelopmental conditions and their etiological overlap with other traits related to psychopathology, ...
