Behavior genetics, the study of how genes regulate developmental changes in behavior, draws together experimental research in molecular and quantitative genetics, neurobiology, and developmental psychology. This new volume includes contributions from leading experts who bring readers the benefit of their experience in many diverse areas by examining current theory and methods and by suggesting directions for future research. The book takes a unique interdisciplinary approach, focusing on the integration of development into the study of behavior, the role of genes in the construction of the nervous system, and the role of natural selection in shaping developing behaviors. Many chapters deal directly with methodological and quantitative issues, providing detailed study of the interactive roles of genes, environment, and development, and placing them within the context of current evolutionary thinking.

This study draws together experimental research in molecular and quantitative genetics, neurobiology, and developmental psychology. Contributors examine current theory and research methods in developmental behaviour genetics and suggest productive directions for future research. They accomplish their goals by focusing on three interdisciplinary themes: integration of development in the study of behaviour; the role of genes in the construction of the nervous system; and the role of natural selection as a shaping force in developing behaviour. To integrate interdisciplinary methods into the study of behaviour, many of the chapters deal directly with methodological and quantitative issues. In doing so, the interactive roles of genes, environment and development are given detailed study and placed within the context of current evolutionary thinking.
