SUMMARY
Genetic,
epigenetic
and
dietary
factors
and
their
interactions
play
a
major
role
in
brain
development
and
the
balance
between
its
health
and
disease
status.
The
dramatic
developments
in
genomic
and
neuroimaging
techniques
are
enabling
researchers
to
study
these
interactions
with
new
breadth
and
depth.
This
chapter
provides
a
definition
of
key
terms
used
to
examine
the
relationship
between
genet-
ics,
diet,
metabolism
and
brain
function.
Both
TCF7L2
and
APOE
will
be
discussed
and
current
knowledge
regarding
genetics
and
brain
architecture
and
function
will
be
reviewed.
