AB  - ALL  BEHAVIORS  ARE  SHAPED  BY  THE  interplay  of  genes  and  the  environment.  The  most  stereotypic  behaviors  of  simple  animals  are  influenced  by  the  environment,  while  the  highly  evolved  behaviors  of  humans  are  constrained  by  innate  properties  specified  by  genes.  Genes  do  not  control  behavior  directly,  but  the  RNAs  and  proteins  encoded  by  genes  act  at  different  times  and  at  many  levels  to  affect  the  brain.  Genes  specify  the  developmental  programs  that  assemble  the  brain  and  are  essential  to  the  properties  of  neurons,  glia,  and  synapses  that  allow  neuronal  circuits  to  function.  Genes  that  are  stably  inherited  over  generations  create  the  machinery  by  which  new  experiences  can  change  the  brain  during  learning.
