Overview

This symposium reviews the biological underpinnings of particular genes and will examine biological markers of emotional and cognitive dysfunction in healthy samples. The data presented will be drawing from a standardized integrative database that includes measures of neural and autonomic activity, and behaviour. In particular, the interacting effects of environmental influences (stress) will be examined, as well as moderating effects of gender. This work was supported by an ARC-linkage grant (LP0455104).
