Dopamine receptor D4 gene variation predicts preschoolers' developing theory of mind.

Developmental science - 1 Mar 2012

Lackner Christine, Sabbagh Mark A, Hallinan Elizabeth, Liu Xudong, Holden Jeanette J A

Abstract excerpt

Individual differences in preschoolers' understanding that human action is caused by internal mental states, or representational theory of mind (RTM), are heritable, as are developmental disorders such as autism in which RTM is particularly impaired. We investigated whether polymorphisms of genes affecting dopamine (DA) utilization and metabolism constitute part of the molecular basis of this heritability....
