Gene x Environment Interactions in the Control of Aggressive Behaviour
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Individual project
Duration at the University of Münster: 12/02/2008 - 31/01/2012
Description
The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) genotype is not only involved in the modulation of fear and anxiety. It is further a key regulator for the entire social behaviour. Therefore, we also investigate how individual behavioural profiles are shaped by the interaction of the serotonin transporter genotype, the environmental situation, and social experiences with a special focus on aggressive behaviour.
