Abstract
AbstractSince the initial reports linking human “novelty seeking” to the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) locus (Benjamin et al. 1996), there have been multiple studies examining associations between human personality traits and specific genotypes of neurotransmitter-related proteins (Ebstein 2006) (seeChap. 10). Recently, research on the genetic bases of personality traits has been extended to studies of within- and between-species studies of nonhuman primates. Personality is defined as those characteristics of individuals that describe and account for temporally stable patterns of affect, cognition, and behavior. As is the case in humans, these individual differences have a biological and experiential basis (Gosling 2008).KeywordsAndrogen ReceptorNonhuman PrimateRhesus MacaqueHuman PersonalityJapanese MacaqueThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
