Dopamine
A key neurotransmitter in motivation, pleasure, reward and the ability to concentrate. Variants in its pathways affect behavior and decision-making.

Genetics and mental health
What does genetics have to do with how you feel?
Neurotransmitters — dopamine, serotonin, GABA, endocannabinoids — regulate mood, sleep, motivation, stress response and emotional balance.
Genetics influences how these neurotransmitters are produced, transported and metabolized. MyNeuro analyzes that predisposition to help you better understand your emotional wellbeing and make more informed decisions about your mental health.
What is MyNeuro for?
- Better understand your genetic predisposition in relation to brain function and mood
- Learn how your genetics influences key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and GABA
- Obtain relevant information to prevent and manage emotional imbalances
- Provide useful genetic data for mental health professionals
9 processes analyzed
Neurotransmitters and biological processes MyNeuro analyzes
The test evaluates genetic variants related to the main neurotransmission systems and biological processes that influence brain function and emotional wellbeing.
Serotonin
Regulates mood, sleep, appetite and the sense of wellbeing. Its imbalance is associated with emotional alterations and sleep disorders.
GABA
The main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. Regulates anxiety, muscle relaxation and mental calm.
Endocannabinoids
A system involved in regulating pain, appetite, memory, mood and the inflammatory response of the nervous system.
Cell signaling
Communication processes between neurons that affect brain plasticity, learning and adaptation to new situations.
Wnt signaling
A pathway involved in neuronal development, neuroprotection and cellular regeneration of the nervous system.
Stress response
Genetic predisposition to stress reactivity, emotional recovery capacity and the ability to manage adverse situations.
Neuroinflammation
Inflammation of the nervous system associated with cognitive and mood alterations and neurodegenerative processes.
Methylation
An epigenetic process that influences the expression of genes related to neurotransmitters, stress response and mental health.
Genetic predispositions
Behavioral regulation
Addictive behaviors
Emotional homeostasis
Neuroinflammation
What information MyNeuro provides
MyNeuro’s genetic information makes it possible to understand the individual predisposition to different conditions related to brain function and emotional wellbeing.
Genetic predisposition to variations in behavioral regulation, impulsivity, attention capacity and decision-making.
Genetic variants that influence the brain’s reward systems and the predisposition to addictive behavior patterns.
Predisposition to alterations in emotional balance, stress management, anxiety and mood regulation.
Genetic tendency toward inflammatory processes of the nervous system that can affect cognitive and emotional function over the long term.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about MyNeuro
What does MyNeuro analyze?
It analyzes genetic variants related to 9 biological processes that influence brain function and mood: dopamine, serotonin, GABA, endocannabinoids, cell signaling, Wnt signaling, stress response, neuroinflammation and methylation.
What is it for?
It makes it possible to understand the genetic predisposition to alterations in behavioral regulation, addictive behaviors, alterations in emotional homeostasis and neuroinflammation. This information helps to better understand mental health and make more informed decisions.
Who is it aimed at?
At anyone who wants to better understand their genetic predisposition in relation to emotional wellbeing, brain function and stress response. It is also useful for mental health professionals who want to integrate genetic information into clinical practice.
What does genetics have to do with mental health?
Genetics influences how neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, GABA) are produced, transported and metabolized, which affects mood, stress response, sleep, motivation and emotional wellbeing. Knowing this predisposition helps to better understand individual differences.
Does it replace a psychiatric or psychological consultation?
No. MyNeuro provides complementary genetic information that can be useful as an additional tool, but it doesn’t diagnose or replace clinical evaluation by a mental health professional.
Does the test need to be repeated over time?
No. The genetic profile doesn’t change throughout life, so the test is performed only once.
