title: [Genes and neurophysiological indicators of cognitive processes: a review].
abstract: This article provides an overview of the genetic association studies relating candidate genes with event-related potentials. This new and rapidly developing area may aid in elucidating the molecular basis of individual differences in cognitive abilities and broaden our knowledge ofneurocircuits underlying information processing. To date, among thousands of genes expressing in the human brain, only a few have been explored in relation to ERPs. Some of the associations found confirm and extend evidence for the involvement of particular neurotransmitter systems in specific cognitive operations. Others implicate genes of brain processes that have not been previously investigated in connection with ERPs and thus propose novel directions for further research of neurophysiologic mechanisms of cognition.
