Stress, genotype and norepinephrine in the prediction of mouse behavior using reinforcement learning.

14 Aug 2009 Individual behavioral performance during learning is known to be affected by modulatory factors, such as stress and motivation, and by genetic predispositions that influence sensitivity to these factors. Despite numerous studies, no integrative ... Read more...

[Role of dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) polymorphisms in personality traits variation]

30 Jul 2009 According to psychobiological model of personality proposed by Cloninger, personality traits characterizing enhanced tendency to novel stimuli, impulsivity and sociability are influenced by dopaminergic system functioning. The present study ... Read more...

Minor genetic variants of the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) polymorphism are associated with novelty seeking in healthy Japanese subjects.

10 Jul 2009 Although an association between the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene and personality traits had been previously investigated, results from previous studies were not conclusive. This may be due to the method of grouping used, which categorized the ... Read more...
