lead to an improved understanding of how neural and cognitive changes contribute to susceptibility across development, which in turn can lead to the design of well-targeted prevention initiatives. Understanding genetic control of brain electrical activity may provide clues about cerebral function, and may shed light on pathogenic mechanisms involved in neurological and psychiatric disorders, where impairment in brain electrical activity is apparent. Once genes are identified and understood, risk genotypes can be used in the development of both targeted treatment and prevention initiatives.
