Publications
Pharmacogenetics and nicotine addiction treatmentMarcus R Munafo
University of Bristol, Department of Experimental Psychology, Bristol BS8 ITN, UK
Pharmacogenomics 6:211-23. 2005....
Association of serotonin transporter genotype with selective processing of smoking-related stimuli in current smokers and ex-smokersMarcus R Munafo
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, United Kingdom
Nicotine Tob Res 7:773-8. 2005..086). Our data provide tentative support for a moderating influence of 5HTT genotype on attentional bias for smoking-related stimuli in ex-smokers. This finding may account for inconsistent reports of attentional bias among ex-smokers...
Neuroticism mediates the association of the serotonin transporter gene with lifetime major depressionMarcus R Munafo
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Neuropsychobiology 53:1-8. 2006..We sought to address the question of whether trait neuroticism mediates the putative association between this polymorphism and lifetime major depression in adults drawn from the general population...
Association of the NRG1 gene and schizophrenia: a meta-analysisM R Munafò
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Mol Psychiatry 11:539-46. 2006..Association analyses and replications should take place at the level of the gene, rather than at the level of SNP, haplotype, or functional variant. Meta-analysis would then be carried out on the basis of the combination of P-values...
Association of the 5- HTTLPR genotype and unipolar depression: a meta-analysisH Clarke
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, UK
Psychol Med 40:1767-78. 2010..We sought to ascertain the strength of evidence for association between the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and unipolar depression...
Association of the mu-opioid receptor gene with smoking cessationM R Munafò
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Pharmacogenomics J 7:353-61. 2007..Future studies should also investigate the role of OPRM1 genotype and smoking cessation on other appetitive and reward behaviours such as alcohol consumption...
Effects of acute abstinence and nicotine administration on taste perception in cigarette smokersE L Mullings
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
J Psychopharmacol 24:1709-15. 2010..In addition, among non-abstinent smokers, females demonstrated higher taste thresholds (i.e. reduced sensitivity) for salt than males, but this sex difference was not observed among abstinent smokers...
A pilot study of the effectiveness of D-cycloserine during cue-exposure therapy in abstinent alcohol-dependent subjectsB J Watson
Psychopharmacology Unit, Bristol University, Dorothy Hodgkin Building, Whitson Street, Bristol, BS1 3NY, UK
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 216:121-9. 2011..D-cycloserine (DCS), a partial N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor agonist, has been shown to facilitate extinction of learned fear in rats and augment exposure-based treatment in some anxiety disorders in man...
Maternal smoking during late pregnancy and offspring smoking behaviourM R Munafò
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, 8 Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1TN, UK
Addict Behav 31:1670-82. 2006..We discuss possible mechanisms for this association, and suggest factors that may account for the observed sex differences in this association, and the discrepancy between our results and some previous reports...
Association of the DRD2 gene Taq1A polymorphism and alcoholism: a meta-analysis of case-control studies and evidence of publication biasM R Munafò
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Mol Psychiatry 12:454-61. 2007....
Effects of acute alcohol consumption on processing of perceptual cues of emotional expressionA S Attwood
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
J Psychopharmacol 23:23-30. 2009..There was no evidence that alcohol altered the processing of angry facial expressions. Future studies should examine effects of alcohol expectancy and investigate the effects of alcohol on the miscategorisation of emotional expressions...
Candidate gene studies in the 21st century: meta-analysis, mediation, moderationM R Munafò
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Genes Brain Behav 5:3-8. 2006..Examples of how these approaches may improve our understanding of how genetic associations with behavioural and psychiatric phenotypes obtain are given...
