| Research Abstract |
Brain neuro-imaging studies with concurrent neuro-pharmacological measurement of the effect of gene polymorphisms appear to be useful in clarifying the relationships between personality traits and information processing within distinct brain regions. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is involved in functional modulation dopamine neurons and is thus likely to influence frontal-executive functioning. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI), we examined whether and how this COMT Val 158 Met gene polymorphism modulates impulsivity-related brain activation by evaluating a Go/No-go task. We found that the COMT Val 158 Met genotypes influence the human prefrontal brain activation and the genotype underlies impulsivity-related motor control appropriate to the affective structure of an environment through reward and penalty information.
