Sequence variation in the primate dopamine transporter gene and its relationship to social dominance.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2008

Miller-Butterworth Cassandra M, Kaplan Jay R, Shaffer John, Devlin Bernie, Manuck Stephen B, Ferrell Robert E

Abstract excerpt

Dopaminergic activity differs between socially dominant and subordinate monkeys, and in humans, it correlates significantly with extraversion, a trait analogous to social dominance in monkeys. Furthermore, concentrations of monoamine metabolites within the cerebrospinal fluid are highly heritable. Dopaminergic activity is modulated by the dopamine transporter (DAT), and the gene encoding this transporter is...
