Relatively strong automatic appetitive action-tendencies in male carriers of the OPRM1 G-allele.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Feb 2009

Wiers R W, Rinck M, Dictus M, van den Wildenberg E

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated whether automatic approach action tendencies for alcohol-related stimuli were associated with variation in the mu-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1), previously related to rewarding effects of alcohol and craving. An adapted approach avoidance task was used, in which participants pulled or pushed a joystick in reaction to the format of a picture shown on the computer screen (e.g. pull landscape...
