Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation of the serotonin transporter (SCL6A4, 5-HTT) has been associated with fear- and anxiety-related behaviors, while a polymorphism in exon III of the D4 dopamine receptor gene (DRD4) has been linked to novelty seeking. The dopaminergic and the serotonergic neurotransmitter system have been found to modulate the amygdala-connected circuitries that are crucial in emotional modulation and response to...
