Abstract excerpt
It has been shown that dopamine (DA) influences performance on neurocognitive tests, which are thought to rely on prefrontal activity. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of gene polymorphisms related to DA activity, namely the D4 DA receptor (DRD4) gene exon III polymorphisms, on prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation. In this study we measured the brain oxygenation of the PFC during an n-back task...
