Actual genes for learning? I very much doubt that. Computational models are hypotheticals, based on spurious or limited data.
Genes build structures, e.g., eyes, stomach, jaw bones, brains. They build the structures that allow learn to take place, e.g., working memory, rehearsal, imitation, memory, etc., but learning isn't automatic, without the learner's involvement.
Take away the learner's involvement and very little happens or introduce a neurological anomaly that messes with any one of these structures and learning is, for want of a better word, 'impaired'.
