Description:

Dr Kevin Mitchell heads up a lab specialising in developmental neurogenetics. He previously presented to the Irish Skeptics Society during April last on the genetics of perception. The response at the time was so overwhelmingly positive that we have decided to invite him back. This time he will examine how genetic and neurodevelopmental variation affects how the brain is wired, which in turn has a predominant influence on major personality traits and other psychological characteristics. He will also comment on how nature interacts with nurture.
