“…The present findings complement the results of other studies indicating that variations in dopamine functioning influence working memory (e.g., Cools et al, 2004;Frank et al, 2001;Landau et al, 2005;Lewis et al, 2003;McNab & Klingberg, 2008), executive control (e.g., Hesse et al, 2009;Siessmeier et al, 2006;Vernaleken et al, 2007;Volkow et al, 2007), and selective attention (e.g., Gorgoraptis et al, 2012;Kähkönen et al, 2001;Shelley et al, 1997). Human studies of striatal dopaminergic modulation of attention primarily investigated attentional control in the context of complex visual perception, such as video games (Koepp et al, 1998) and affective scenes (Siessmeier et al, 2006), or in the context of other cognitive processes such as Stroop interference (Vernaleken et al, 2007), visual attention as assessed by the Trail-Making test (Meyer-Lindenberg et al, 2007) and the attentional blink effect (Colzato et al, 2011).…”
