Brain imaging, genetics and emotion.

Biological psychology - 1 Sept 2008

Aleman André, Swart Marte, van Rijn Sophie

Abstract excerpt

This paper reviews the published evidence on genetically driven variation in neurotransmitter function and brain circuits involved in emotion. Several studies point to a role of the serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism in amygdala activation during emotion perception. We also discuss other polymorphisms (e.g. the COMT val158met polymorphism, tryptophan hydroxylase-2 -703 G/T) and putative effects on...
