Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the genetic basis of altruism: the role of the COMT Val158Met polymorphism
TL;DR: Results indicate that the Val allele representing strong catabolism of dopamine is related to altruistic behaviour, the functional COMT Val158Met SNP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does excessive play of violent first-person-shooter-video-games dampen brain activity in response to emotional stimuli?
Christian Montag,Bernd Weber,Peter Trautner,Beate Newport,Sebastian Markett,Nora T. Walter,Andrea Felten,Martin Reuter +7 more
TL;DR: An interesting finding of the study represents the higher activation of frontal and temporal brain areas in gamers when processing screen-shots from the first-person-shooter-video-game 'Counterstrike'.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internet Addiction and Personality in First-Person-Shooter Video Gamers
Christian Montag,Matthias Flierl,Sebastian Markett,Nora T. Walter,Magdalena Jurkiewicz,Martin Reuter +5 more
TL;DR: The influence on Internet addiction of numerous variables ranging from personality to psychological and physical well-being, in a large and highly ecologically valid study is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ignorance is no excuse: moral judgments are influenced by a genetic variation on the oxytocin receptor gene.
TL;DR: This is the first study providing evidence for a genetic contribution to moral judgments and a significant difference between carriers and non-carriers of the C-allele in exculpating agents for accidental harms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetically determined dopamine availability predicts disposition for depression.
TL;DR: The present findings indicate that gene variations of the DA system previously associated with PEM are at the same time protective against high NEM and can therefore constitute a resilience factor against depression.
