Molecular Genetics and Neurobiology
Molecular Genetics is the ever-evolving study of DNA, its mechanism, composition, functions, and diseases. It addresses the variations of DNA and how it supports life processes. Neurobiology is the study of the nervous system – the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves. Combined these fields study how genetic makeup affects the behaviour and other functions related to it.
Key Concepts of Molecular Genetics:
– Genes and their functions
– DNA variations and their significance
– Genetic inheritance of traits and disorders
Key areas of Neurobiology :
✔️ Neural development
✔️ Neural Differentiation
✔️ Neurotransmission
✔️ Neuroplasticity
