Linguistic Grammar Learning and DRD2-TAQ-IA Polymorphism
As research into the neurobiology of language has focused primarily on the systems level, fewer studies have examined the link between molecular genetics and normal variations in language functions. Because the ability to learn a language varies in adults and our genetic codes also vary, research linking the two provides a unique window into the molecular neurobiology of language. We consider a...
متن کاملHemoglobin, Lead Exposure, and Intelligence Quotient: Effect Modification by the DRD2 Taq IA Polymorphism
BACKGROUND Anemia and lead exposure remain significant public health issues in many parts of the world, often occurring together. Animal studies suggest that the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) mediates the effects of both lead and iron on cognition and behavior. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that the DRD2 Taq IA polymorphism modifies the effects of lead and hemoglobin on intelligence quotie...
متن کاملDopamine DRD2 polymorphism alters reversal learning and associated neural activity.
In humans, presence of an A1 allele of the DRD2/ANKK1-TaqIa polymorphism is associated with reduced expression of dopamine (DA) D(2) receptors in the striatum. Recently, it was observed that carriers of the A1 allele (A1+ subjects) showed impaired learning from negative feedback in a reinforcement learning task. Here, using functional MRI (fMRI), we investigated carriers and noncarriers of the ...
متن کاملThe C957T DRD2 Polymorphism Predicts Rule-Based Category Learning Performance
We assessed the role of the DRD2 dopaminergic striatal gene polymorphism on performance in unidimensional and conjunctive rule-based category learning tasks. The unidimensional task requires a rule along a single stimulus dimension, while the conjunctive rule task utilizes a combination of two dimensions to distinguish members of each category. The results show that DRD2 C957T T allele carriers...
متن کاملDopamine DRD2 Taq I polymorphism associates with caudate nucleus volume and cognitive performance in memory impaired subjects.
We studied the relationship among dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) Taq I genetic polymorphism, caudate nucleus volumetry as measured using MRI and neuropsychological functions in 49 memory impaired older people. Compared with DRD2 A1 carriers, subjects homozygous for the DRD2 A2 allele performed poorer in a measure of general cognitive functioning (MMSE) and in long term verbal memory, and presented...
