Investigating the Influence of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Val66Met Single Nucleotide Polymorphism on Familiarity and Recollection Event-Related Potentials
Abstract:The Val66Met single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has previously been reported to impact performance on recognition memory tasks. Whether the two subprocesses of recognition-familiarity and recollection-are differentially impacted by the Val66Met SNP remains unknown. Using event-related potentials (ERPs) recorded during a source memory task, we attempted to dissociate these two subprocesses. Behaviourally, we used participants' scores on an item-recognition subtask as a measure of familiarity, and participants… Show more
