A cognitive phenotype for a polymorphism in the nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA4.

Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews - 1 Apr 2012

Greenwood P M, Parasuraman Raja, Espeseth Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Drawing on converging behavioral, electrophysiological, and imaging evidence, we advance an hypothesis for a cognitive phenotype of a SNP in the CHRNA4 gene encoding the α(4) subunit of α(4)β(2) nicotinic receptors. First, we review evidence that visuospatial attention can be decomposed into several component processes. Secondly, we consider evidence that one component, redirection of attention, is modulated by...
