COMT genotype and cognitive ability: a longitudinal aging study.

Neuroscience letters - 21 Jun 2007

Starr John M, Fox Helen, Harris Sarah E, Deary Ian J, Whalley Lawrence J

Abstract excerpt

Dopaminergic neurotransmission in the pre-frontal cortex (PFC) contributes to individual cognitive differences in animals and humans. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) influences dopamine concentration in the PFC. Functional variation in the human COMT gene occurs at a single nucleotide polymor...
