Title: O57. Neanderthal-Derived Genetic Variation is Associated With Dopamine Synthesis in Living Humans
Abstract: Prior to disappearing from the fossil record, Neanderthals interbred with modern humans, contributing a legacy that survives in our DNA today. Previously, we found that having greater Neanderthal-derived genetic variation biases human brain and skull shapes to resemble Neanderthal remains. Here, we investigated whether Neanderthal-derived variation also impacts the dopaminergic system using PET.
