Variations in catechol-O-methyltransferase gene interact with parenting to influence attention in early development.

Neuroscience - 24 Nov 2009

Abstract excerpt

Attention influences many aspects of cognitive development. Variations in the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, known to affect dopamine neurotransmission, have frequently been found to influence attention in adults and older children. In this paper we examined 2 year old children and found that variation in the COMT gene influenced attention in a task involving looking to a sequence of visual stimuli....
