For example, changes in cortical MAO-A binding in humans have been implicated in depression (Meyer et al., 2006), whereas changes in hippocampal MAO-A (based on animal models) have been associated with changes in cognition (Steckler et al., 2001) and even motor activity (Morishima et al., 2006), which is more often associated with the dopaminergic system. The gene discussed is MAOA; the disease is depressive symptom measurement.
