Abstract

Genetic psychophysiology is a fairly new area of research that has emerged at the intersection of behavioural genetics and psychophysiology. It is obvious that the specifics of the structure and functions of the nervous system are the mediating link in the “genes-behaviour” chain. The effects of human genes on behaviour are mediated at a number of different levels — cellular (physical and chemical processes within the cell), intercellular (physical and chemical processes between cells), the organs (their structure and functions) and the systems of organs. To understand mechanisms of genetic influences on behaviour, it is necessary to investigate genetic variability underlying differences in the structure and function of the nervous system at all levels — from biochemical processes within a cell to electrochemical processes of the whole brain.
