Genetic and neuro-epigenetic effects of divergent artificial selection for feather pecking behaviour in chickens
Abstract Feather pecking (FP) is a repetitive behaviour in chickens, influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors, similar to behaviours seen in human developmental disorders (e.g., hyperactivity, autism). This study examines genetic and neuro-epigenetic factors in the thalamus of ch...
