Modeling Gene-By-Environment Risk Factors for Mental Traits In Mice
| Chair:
Cornelius Gross
European Molecular Biology Laboratory |
Identifying the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying gene-by-environment risk factors for mental illness would be greatly aided by an animal model amenable to behavioral, physiological, and genetic analysis. We have established a mouse model where mutations can be screened for their ability to modulate the long-term behavioral effects of adverse environment.
