• Frontoparietal Cortical Thickness Mediates the Effect of COMT Val¹⁵⁸Met Polymorphism on Age-Associated Executive Function 

  Miranda, Giuseppe G.; Rodrigue, Karen M.; Kennedy, Kristen M. (Elsevier Science Inc, 2018-09-21)

  Proper dopamine (DA) signaling is likely necessary for maintaining optimal cognitive performance as we age, particularly in prefrontal-parietal networks and in fronto-striatal networks. Thus, reduced DA availability is a ...
