Question

Studies of the genetics of addiction have implicated the gene that controls comt, an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Hello, Ashu109!! It would be B, false. COMT is important to the prefrontal cortex of your brain (the frontal part of your brain, behind your forehead). The prefrontal cortex is responsible for personality, planning, behavior, thinking, emotion, and memory. COMT (Catechol-O-methyltransferase) helps maintain neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine. Hope this helped!! Have a great evening!! :)
