    A study of the physiological basis of human and animal behavior, emphasizing particularly the dependence of processes such as perception, motivation, learning, and problem-solving upon the character and integrity of the nervous system.

    Behavior genetics is the application of genetic research strategies to the study of behavior.

Issues of genetic counseling are also addressed.
