Mapping genes for psychiatric disorders and behavioral traits.
In the past year, findings from genetic studies in non-human organisms have yielded a number of exciting insights regarding the genetic basis of complex behaviors. Although there were encouraging developments in the genetic study of human behavioral traits, particularly those involved with cognitive function, there was relatively little progress in genetic mapping of the most common psychiatric phenotypes.
