ADHD likely has a genetic component. If a biological parent or sibling has ADHD, you’re more likely to have it, too, but this doesn’t mean you will. Your environment can be influential as well.

The New Science of Nature and Nurture.” Since Francis Galton coined the phrase “nature versus nurture” 150 years ago, the debate about what makes us who we are has dominated the human sciences. Do ...

If breeding is limited to a smaller number of surviving individuals, long-term diversity could still be at risk despite the temporary increase in genetic variation. At the genetic basis, ASF may have ...

If a genetic variation increased the reporter gene’s activity, it indicated that the variation had a regulatory effect, meaning it could influence the activity of nearby genes in the brain. By ...
