PSC 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Fetus, Monoamine Oxidase
Document Summary
Mice do not have function of this gene throughout their entire life. Generally focusing on role of the coding region, although it"s possible to. Lecture 6 - 10/11 **end of midterm 1 materials. Knockout mice = mice that are genetically engineered to lack the function of a single gene manipulate promoters too. Gene knockout = a specific gene is knocked-out by deleting some, or all of the coding region. Development of behavior = brain development early life experience adult. A gene can have different effects on behavior if it is expressed during development versus in the adult. The effect of a gene manipulation often depends on when you do it. Some genes have different functions during development versus in the adult. Sometimes the behavior of a mouse will be more heavily influenced by what the gene does during development. Studies indicate that serotonin can influence anxiety in humans. The serotonin transporter regulates how serotonin affect brain activity.
