Individual variation in a cholinergic receptor gene modulates attention.

Neuroscience letters - 10 Apr 2009

Reinvang Ivar, Lundervold Astri J, Rootwelt Helge, Wehling Eike, Espeseth Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Cholinergic influences on attention are well documented and recent evidence indicates that genetic variation in the alpha4beta2 nicotinic receptor affects attentional networks of the brain. Several behavioral and electrophysiological studies have shown that a common polymorphism in the CHRNA4 gene (rs1044396) affects aspects of visual and auditory attentional processing. We examined genetic effects on...
