Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dopamine is one of the neurotransmitters that have been implicated in schizophrenia. Researchers suggest that certain D2 receptors (DRD2) gene polymorphisms alter dopaminergic signaling and influence prefrontally-mediated executive functions. The present study aims to test the effects of DRD2 rs6277, rs6275 and rs2242592 polymorphisms on cognitive and motor measures of antisaccade task (AS) in healthy...
