BDNFVal66Met and 5-HTTLPR genotype are each associated with visual scanning patterns of faces in young children

Previous studies have documented both neuroplasticity-related BDNF Val66Met and emotion regulation-related 5-HTTLPR polymorphisms as genetic variants that contribute to the processing of emotions from faces. More specifically, research has shown the BDNF Met allele and the 5-HTTLPR Short allele to b...
