Dr. Pat Levitt, from the Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, provides an overview of how early genetic and environmental factors interact to product long-term outcomes. He specifically discusses the interactive relationship of genes and experience on the development of brain architecture, while showing that the long-term impact is not only on emotional, social, and cognitive development, but also on the way in which reward and motivational systems are formed.
