Genetic variation in MAOA modulates prefrontal cortical regulation of approach-avoidance reactions.

Neuropsychobiology - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Regulation of automatic approach and avoidance behavior requires affective and cognitive control, which are both influenced by a genetic variation in the gene encoding Monoamine Oxidase A (termed MAOA-uVNTR). METHODS: The current study investigated MAOA genotype as a moderator of prefrontal cortical activation measured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in 37 healthy young adults...
