Space Radiation Alters Genotype–Phenotype Correlations in Fear Learning and Memory Tests

Behavioral and cognitive traits have a genetic component even though contributions from individual genes and genomic loci are in many cases modest. Changes in the environment can alter genotype–phenotype relationships. Space travel, which includes exposure to ionizing radiation, constitutes environm...
