MAOA-L carriers are better at making optimal financial decisions under risk.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Jul 2011

Frydman Cary, Camerer Colin, Bossaerts Peter, Rangel Antonio

Abstract excerpt

Genes can affect behaviour towards risks through at least two distinct neurocomputational mechanisms: they may affect the value assigned to different risky options, or they may affect the way in which the brain adjudicates between options based on their value. We combined methods from neuroeconomics and behavioural genetics to investigate the impact that the genes encoding for monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA), the...
