The effects of the serotonin transporter polymorphism and age on frontal white matter integrity in healthy adult women.

The effects of the serotonin transporter polymorphism and age on frontal white matter integrity in healthy adult women.

Studies of populations at genetic risk have the potential to explore the underlying structural and functional mechanisms in the development of psychological disorders. The polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) has been associated with major depression (Caspi et al....
