Neurogenetics and pharmacology of learning, motivation, and cognition.

Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology - 1 Jan 2011

Frank Michael J, Fossella John A

Abstract excerpt

Many of the individual differences in cognition, motivation, and learning-and the disruption of these processes in neurological conditions-are influenced by genetic factors. We provide an integrative synthesis across human and animal studies, focusing on a recent spate of evidence implicating a role for genes controlling dopaminergic function in frontostriatal circuitry, including COMT, DARPP-32, DAT1, DRD2, and...
