A conference on the conduct of genomic research on complex behaviors was convened at the University of Michigan to demystify genetic research by describing the tools and methodologies for identifying ...

Scientists rely on brain-wide association studies to measure brain structure and function -- using brain scans -- and link them to mental illness and other complex behaviors. But a new study shows ...

Complex behavior is all around us. Think of something like the economy. It has many components, each with its own set of rules and all of them interacting in complicated ways. Trying to follow what’s ...
