Paranormal experience and the COMT dopaminergic gene: a preliminary attempt to associate phenotype with genotype using an underlying brain theory.

Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior - 1 Jan 2000

Raz Amir, Hines Terence, Fossella John, Castro Daniella

Abstract excerpt

Paranormal belief and suggestibility seem related. Given our recent findings outlining a putative association between suggestibility and a specific dopaminergic genetic polymorphism, we hypothesized that similar exploratory genetic data may offer supplementary insights into a similar correlation...
