Description
Summary:[...]ADH and ALDH have remained under major focus for the last few decades. Amongst others, pathways related to dopamine have been linked to the physiology of P300[15]. [...]a focus on genes such as COMT seems justified although the absence of focus on dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2-) and DRD4- related genes in this study (while keeping serotonin and cholinergic mechanisms under purview) may be considered significant. [...]one can anticipate more comprehensive studies from this group in the coming years.
