Dopamine transporter, alcoholism and other diseases

David Goldman

Laboratory of Neurogenetics Natn. Inst. on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes of Health Rockville, Maryland 20852, USA

The discovery of dopamine transporter density difference in alcoholics has implications for mechanisms of vulnerability and relapse (pages 654−657).
