PSYCH 003: Functional Genomics of Human Brain Development
Before there are thoughts, emotions, or behaviours, there is a set of instructions - not fixed, but dynamic. This chapter explores how genes guide the development of the human brain, and how this process unfolds across time, context, and experience.
In this episode, we examine how the genome is not a static blueprint but a responsive system. Genes are turned on and off in precise sequences, shaping when and where neurons are formed, how they migrate, and how circuits are assembled. Development is therefore not simply genetic, but genetically orchestrated and environmentally influenced.
