Genetics of self-reported risk-taking behaviour, trans-ethnic consistency and relevance to brain gene expression
(2018)
Risk-taking behaviour is an important component of several psychiatric disorders, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Previously, two genetic loci have been associated ...
Absent sleep EEG spindle activity in GluA1 (Gria1) knockout mice: relevance to neuropsychiatric disorders
(2018-08)
Sleep EEG spindles have been implicated in attention, sensory processing, synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation. In humans, deficits in sleep spindles have been reported in a wide range of neurological and psychiatric ...
Dopaminergic modulation of regional cerebral blood flow: An arterial spin labelling study of genetic and pharmacological manipulation of COMT activity
(2021-07)
Dopamine has direct and complex vasoactive effects on cerebral circulation. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) regulates cortical dopamine, and its activity can be influenced both genetically and pharmacologically. COMT ...
Accurate expression quantification from nanopore direct RNA sequencing with NanoCount
(2021-11)
Accurately quantifying gene and isoform expression changes is essential to understanding cell functions, differentiation and disease. Sequencing full-length native RNAs using long-read direct RNA sequencing (DRS) has the ...
Which Dopamine Polymorphisms are Functional? Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of COMT, DAT, DBH, DDC, DRD1-5, MAOA, MAOB, TH, VMAT1 and VMAT2
(2019-05)
BACKGROUND: Many polymorphisms in dopamine genes are reported to affect cognitive, imaging or
clinical phenotypes. It is often inferred or assumed that such associations are causal, mediated by a direct
effect of the ...
