    Este artículo investiga cómo la genética y el aprendizaje contribuyen a la formación de rasgos de personalidad y su representación mental, integrando tanto perspectivas filosóficas como neuropsicológicas en su estudio. La primera premisa sostiene que en cada sinapsis eléctrica se activa el material genético del individuo (ADN), influyendo en el fenotipo personal; y la segunda premisa destaca el papel de la sinapsis química en el aprendizaje adquirido, enfatizando cómo los cambios morfológicos neuronales y la consolidación hipocampal contribuyen a la formación de representaciones mentales y rasgos de personalidad. Así, se busca argumentar que los rasgos de personalidad, proporcionan representaciones mentales que ajustan el comportamiento a través de la unidad neuropsicológica de la personalidad, una matriz que de manera inquebrantable nos recuerda a cada acción quienes somos y por qué nos comportamos de una determinada manera. La conclusión incide en la idea de que así como la epigenética incide en la interacción entre herencia y entorno sin modificar el ADN, los rasgos de la personalidad se forjan a partir de la interacción continua entre predisposiciones genéticas y experiencias ambientales, modificando y adaptándose en función de la representación mental.

    This article investigates how genetics and learning contribute to the formation of personality traits and their mental representation, integrating both philosophical and neuropsychological perspectives in its study.The first premise holds that the individual's genetic material (DNA) is activated at each electrical synapse, influencing the personal phenotype; and the second premise highlights the crucial role of chemical synapses in acquired learning, emphasizing how neuronal morphological changes and hippocampal consolidation contribute to the formation of mental representations and personality traits. The study seeks to argue that personality traits provide mental representations that adjust behavior through the neuropsychological unit of personality, a matrix that unwaveringly reminds us with every action who we are and why we behave in a certain way.The conclusion emphasizes the idea that just as epigenetics affects theinteraction between inheritance and environment without modifying DNA, personality traits are forged from the continuous interaction between genetic predispositions and environmental experiences, modifying and adapting based on mental representation.
