One of the most intriguing findings about this polymorphism is its apparent effects on the experience of pleasure. Not only does the met polymorphism seems to improve prefrontal cortex function, and possibly decreases psychosis risk, it actually makes people report better well-being.

Using a cool psychological technique called experience sample monitoring (ESM), Wichers et al. 2008 genotyped 492 subjects and gave them digital wristwatches and self-assessment forms. For 5 days, the watches would beep at a random time in ten blocks between 7:30 and 22:30. So for example, the watch might beep at 8:37, then 11:14, and so forth throughout the day, and at each beep the subject was told to record their “thoughts, current context (activity, persons present, and location), appraisals of current situation and mood.”



“Reward experience on the continuum of event appraisal stratified by COMT genotype (event reference category is ‘neutral’).” Wichers (2007) Neuropsychopharmacology

Subjects with the met polymorphism reported more pleasure from what should have been equally pleasurable activities, and the effects were got bigger the more pleasurable an event was.

On the plus side, we can think much more clearer than them. I know these types IRL.... they are often delusional & not very down-to-earth.
