Association Study of a Monoamine Oxidase A Gene Promoter Polymorphism with Major Depressive Disorder and Antidepressant Response
Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the degradation of biogenic amines, may be implicated in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD) and be related to the… Expand

Association study of a brain‐derived neurotrophic‐factor genetic polymorphism and major depressive disorders, symptomatology, and antidepressant response
Preclinical studies have shown that brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be involved in both antidepressant action and the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD). The present… Expand

The Val66Met polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic-factor gene is associated with geriatric depression
Brain-derived neurotrophic-factor (BDNF), the most abundant of the neurotrophins in the brain, has been implicated in both major depression and cognitive function. This study examines the association… Expand

Complexity of spontaneous BOLD activity in default mode network is correlated with cognitive function in normal male elderly: a multiscale entropy analysis
The nonlinear properties of spontaneous fluctuations in blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals remain unexplored. We test the hypothesis that complexity of BOLD activity is reduced with aging… Expand

Association Study of a Brain-Derived Neurotrophic-Factor Genetic Polymorphism and Mood Disorders, Age of Onset and Suicidal Behavior
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a member of the neurotrophin growth factor family, has been implicated in both mood disorders and suicidal behavior. This study has examined the association… Expand

Do Seasons Have an Influence on the Incidence of Depression? The Use of an Internet Search Engine Query Data as a Proxy of Human Affect
Background Seasonal depression has generated considerable clinical interest in recent years. Despite a common belief that people in higher latitudes are more vulnerable to low mood during the winter,… Expand

Association Study of Catechol- O-Methyltransferase Gene and Dopamine D4 Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Personality Traits in Healthy Young Chinese Females
Human personality traits, which are substantially heritable, may be modulated by monoamine neurotransmitters. It has been demonstrated that the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met genetic… Expand

Association study of a functional catechol-O-methyltransferase-gene polymorphism and cognitive function in healthy females
Using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, it has been determined, that the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val158Met genetic polymorphism, a functional polymorphism that may affect dopamine… Expand

An association study of a brain-derived neurotrophic factor Val66Met polymorphism and clozapine response of schizophrenic patients
A growing body of evidence suggests the involvement of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in both antipsychotic action and schizophrenia pathogenesis. The present study tested the hypothesis… Expand

Association study of two serotonin 1A receptor gene polymorphisms and fluoxetine treatment response in Chinese major depressive disorders
The firing rate of dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons is modulated by somatodendritic 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A (HTR1A) autoreceptors. Evidence from animal and clinical studies has suggested that… Expand
