Dopamine-dependent cognitive processes after menopause: the relationship between COMT genotype, estradiol, and working memory.

Neurobiology of aging - 1 Dec 2018

Abstract excerpt

The present study examined how a gene related to functioning of the dopaminergic system, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), and estradiol were related to brain functioning in healthy postmenopausal women. Participants were 118 healthy, cognitively normal postmenopausal women between the ages of 50-60 years. All women provided a blood sample for COMT and estradiol analyses and underwent a magnetic resonance...
