Noradrenergic genotype predicts lapses in sustained attention.

Neuropsychologia - 1 Jan 2009

Greene Ciara M, Bellgrove Mark A, Gill Michael, Robertson Ian H

Abstract excerpt

Sustained attention is modulated by the neurotransmitter noradrenaline. The balance of dopamine and noradrenaline in the cortex is controlled by the DBH gene. The principal variant in this gene is a C/T change at position -1021, and the T allele at this locus is hypothesised to result in a slower...
