Gene-environment interaction analysis of school quality and educational inequality by Kim Stienstra, Antonie Knigge, Ineke Maas

“…Abstract We study to what extent schools increase or decrease environmental and genetic influences on educational performance. Building on behavioral genetics literature on gene-environment interactions and sociological literature on the compensating and amplifying effects of schools on inequality, we investigate whether the role of genes and the shared environment is larger or smaller in higher-quality school environments. …”

Stimulus generalization and return of fear in C57BL/6J mice by Yannick eBoddez, Zsuzsanna eCallaerts-Vegh, Bram eVervliet, Frank eBaeyens, Rudi eD'Hooge, Dirk eHermans, Tom eBeckers, Tom eBeckers

“…In this study, we attempt to develop a new conditioning protocol to study return of fear, caused by a stimulus change after extinction, in the most commonly used mouse strain of behavioral genetics, C57BL/6J. Perceptual changes to an auditory fear conditioned stimulus led to return of fear after initially successful fear-reduction, relative to appropriate control treatment. …”
