Abstract excerpt
The dopaminergic and glutamate systems have been implicated in cognitive function. We tested the associations between the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit (GRIN2B) gene variants and intelligence quotient (IQ). Subjects with the DRD2 A1/A1 genotype had a significantly higher mean performance IQ than A2/A2 carriers, while no significant differences in IQ scores were...
