Abstract excerpt
Serotonin (5-HT) receptors 2A are expressed in brain regions involved in memory and learning processes. Recently, a functional single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5-HT2A receptor gene leading to an amino-acid substitution at residue 452 (His452Tyr) has been involved in memory performance, persons with the rare 452Tyr allele showing poorer memory performance compared to His452His subjects. To investigate a...
