Genetic risk for neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders may act less by deleting inhibitory neuron types than by biasing how they are made. This is the subject of our new review in Current Opinion in Genetics & Development (Dvoretskova & Mayer).

We draw on developmental genetics, lineage tracing, and human genetics. The main point: disease-linked variants often don't abolish particular inhibitory neuron types. Instead they shift developmental trajectories — timing, fate bias, lineage allocation — leaving subtype proportions imbalanced among otherwise normal cell types.

The brief highlights a foundational link between human evolution and lateralized behavior, illustrating how shifts in locomotion and brain development may shape handedness. For clinicians and allied mental health professionals, this connection underscores the potential roots of motor-cognitive asymmetries and their relevance to habit formation, learning, and early development.

The article explains how genetic differences influence brain structure, and how these structural variations relate to autism and attention disorders. It uses large genetic datasets to link specific brain regions and white matter pathways with the risk of these conditions, suggesting anatomy may precede symptom development.

This topic is of interest to psychology because it connects neural structure with behavioral outcomes, offering insight into how biology can shape cognitive and social functioning across development.
