Development and PsychopathologyInternalizing problems of childhood and adolescence: Prospects, pitfalls, and progress inunderstanding the development of anxiety and depression
809 Citations2000Carolyn Zahn‐Waxler, Bonnie Klimes‐Dougan +1 more
The need to study anxiety and depression within a developmental psychopathology framework, as well as to include both categorical and dimensional assessments of these problems in the same research designs, will be essential for understanding the complex interplay of biological and environmental processes that contribute to the emergence, progression, and amelioration of internalizing problems over time.

663 Citations2004Thalia C. Eley, Karen Sugden +6 more
There was a significant genotype–environmental risk interaction for 5HTTLPR in female subjects only, with the effect being in the same direction as another recent study, reaffirming that an important source of genetic heterogeneity is exposure to environmental risk.

565 Citations2004Debra L. Foley, Lindon J. Eaves +5 more
This study replicates a recent report of a genotype-environment interaction that predicts individual variation in risk for antisocial behavior in boys and finds that low monoamine oxidase A activity increased risk for conduct disorder only in the presence of an adverse childhood environment.

488 Citations2004Mark A. Rogers, Kiyoto Kasai +6 more
The evidence from combined imaging and neuropsychological studies supports the involvement of the ACC, but is less clear in the case of the DLPFC, and the limited number of such studies conducted to date means that conclusions must be tentative.
British Medical BulletinEarly determinants of behaviour: evidence from primate studies
483 Citations1997Stephen J. Suomi
The idea that early experiences disproportionately influence adult behaviour has long been a fixture of mainstream developmental theory, and early social relationships with mothers or other caregivers appear to provide especially powerful determinants of behavioural propensities throughout the lifespan.

A typology is drawn on existing examples of GE interactions to formulate a set of generic mechanisms by which E moderates G, which call for the integration of life course sociology and behavioral genetics to foster ways of studying genes, context, and aging.

There are critical developmental windows during which the genetically determined microcircuitry of key limbic-hypothalamic-midbrain structures are susceptible to early environmental influences and that these influences powerfully shape an individual’s responsivity to psychosocial stressors and their resiliency or vulnerability to various forms of human psychopathology later in life.

125 Citations1994Daniel P�russe, Michael C. Neale +2 more
Model-fitting analyses indicate that human parental behavior is under significant genetic influence, and suggests that this influence is sex limited, with a higher heritability in mothers than in fathers and that it may result partly from the expression of dominant genes.
