Abstract excerpt
We investigated associations of the exon III repeat and the -521 C/T polymorphisms of the DRD4 gene with novelty-elicited auditory ERP components and behavioral resistance to distraction in 57 healthy, typically developing 6-year-old children. Dopamine-related gene polymorphisms have previously been linked to processes directing focused attention. We did not find associations between the 7-repeat allele or the...
