Genes to Cognition Project

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Genes to Cognition (G2C) is a neuroscience research programme that studies genes, the brain and behaviour in an integrated manner, established to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of learning and memory, and shed light on the pathogenesis of disorders of cognition. It participated in a June 2008 study that showed complex proteins in synapses were a key to the growth of humans' large brains. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-06/wtsi-oot060508.php http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/nn.2135.html;jsessionid=460E557385D5286FFEF7AEBCFD77700B
