The nature vs. nurture debate in psychology centers on such questions. It asks whether genetics, environmental factors, or a combination of both are responsible for all of our unique behaviors ...

Nearly 200 researchers from universities in Europe, North America, and Australia conducted and published the largest study on OCD in Nature Genetics on May 13. The study marks the most ...

“Nature” means innate biological factors (namely genetics), while “nurture” can refer to upbringing or life experience more generally. Traditionally, “nature vs. nurture” has been ...

Genetics research is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of the role of genes in traits such as the development of disease. It has a key role in identifying potential targets for ...
