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 
denition 
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.
