We have published extensively on the neurogenetics of brain reward systems with reference
to the genes related to dopaminergic function in particular. In 1996, we coined “Reward …

The present review/perspectives article provides a short overview of our current
understanding of the molecular genetics of personality. In the first part, the most important …

The present article highlights important concepts of personality including stability issues
from the perspective of situational demands and stability over the life-course. Following this …

Despite the substantial heritability estimates for psychological traits, their precise genetic
foundation from a molecular perspective remains elusive. We summarize findings and …

This review provides a short overview of the most significant biologically oriented theories of
human personality. Personality concepts of Eysenck, Gray and McNaughton, Cloninger and …

Abnormal behaviors involving dopaminergic gene polymorphisms often reflect an
insufficiency of usual feelings of satisfaction, or Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS). RDS …

Perspective-taking has become a main focus of studies on moral judgments. Recent fMRI
studies have demonstrated that individual differences in brain activation predict moral …

Adverse, unfavourable life conditions, particularly during early life stages and infancy, can
lead to epigenetic regulation of genes involved in stress-response, behavioral disinhibition …

There is a strong etiological link between brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and depression,
but the neurocellular mechanisms and gene–environment interactions remain obscure. This …

Although prominent personality theories postulate orthogonality between traits of positive
emotionality (PEM) and negative emotionality (NEM), empirical evidence often demonstrates …
