Investigating interactive effects of worry and the catechol-o-methyltransferase gene (COMT) on working memory performance.

Cognitive, affective & behavioral neuroscience - 1 Dec 2021

Louis Courtney C, D'Esposito Mark, Moser Jason S

Abstract excerpt

Extant research indicates that worry is associated with reduced working memory. It remains unclear, however, what mechanisms contribute to impaired performance in worriers. Critically, dopamine in the prefrontal cortex heavily influences the stability of mental representations during working memory tasks, yet no research has probed its role in associations between worry and working memory. To address this gap,...
