Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence have highlighted the role of the serotonergic system in working memory (WM) processes. The X-linked Mono-Amine Oxidase A (MAO A) gene, coding for an enzyme especially involved in the serotonin (5-HT) catabolism, presents a well-characterized functional polymorphism consisting in a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in the promoter region with high activity and low activity...
