Genetic studies show a general factor associated with all human personality and
psychopathology, but its basis is unknown. We performed genome scans of 17 normal and …

Genetic studies show a general factor associated with all human psychopathology and
strongly correlated with personality and intelligence, but its basis is unknown. We performed …

Mounting genomic evidence suggests that biological contributions to psychiatric disorder
susceptibility are genetically complex, environmentally mediated, and highly comorbid. By …

Background Very little is known about the etiology of personality and psychiatric disorders.
Because the core neurobiology of many such traits is evolutionarily conserved, dogs present …

Domestic dogs display a wide array of heritable behaviors that have intermediate genetic
complexity thanks to a long history of human-influenced selection. Comparative genetics in …

Variation across dog breeds presents a unique opportunity to investigate the evolution and
biological basis of complex behavioural traits. We integrated behavioural data from more …

The diversity of dog breeds make the domestic dog a valuable model for identifying genes
responsible for many phenotypic and behavioral traits. The brain, in particular, is a region of …

The challenges and critical importance of keeping our thinking about neuropsychiatric
disorders mechanisms and classifications up-to-date have prompted a dynamic discourse …

Differences among dog breeds provide unique opportunities for studying the genetics of
behavior, morphology and complex disease. Two new studies demonstrate how the unique …

A favourable genetic structure and diversity of behavioural features highlights the potential
of dogs for studying the genetic architecture of behaviour traits. However, behaviours are …
