Activation of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway appears to promote drug-and alcohol-seeking behavior in laboratory animals. Results for association and linkage analysis between various alcohol dependence phenotypes and the dopamine receptors have been quite mixed. Similarly, both positive and negative
Although it is well-established that genetic variation is important in causing individual differences in many human personality traits or based on family, twin, and adoption studies, the first reports that specific genetic polymorphisms might influence a normal dimension of personality were only rec
