Serotonergic modulation in executive functioning: linking genetic variations to working memory performance.

Neuropsychologia - 1 Nov 2011

Abstract excerpt

Emerging evidence from studies using, for example, acute tryptophan depletion or investigating genetic variation of genes related to the serotonin signaling pathway suggest a role of serotonin in executive functions such as top-down attention, working memory and inhibitory control. In the current study, we aimed at extending this evidence by using the n-back task to examine working memory performance of 130...
