Dopamine and cognitive control: sex-by-genotype interactions influence the capacity to switch attention.

Behavioural brain research - 15 Mar 2015

Gurvich C, Rossell S L

Abstract excerpt

Cognitive performance in healthy persons varies widely between individuals. Sex differences in cognition are well reported, and there is an emerging body of evidence suggesting that the relationship between dopaminergic neurotransmission, implicated in many cognitive functions, is modulated by sex. Here, we examine the influence of sex and genetic variations along the dopaminergic pathway on aspects of cognitive...
