Delay discounting refers to the behavioral tendency devalue rewards as a function of their delay in receipt. Heightened has been associated with substance use disorders, well multiple co-occurring psychopathologies. Genetic studies humans and animal models have established that is heritable trait, but only few specific genes discounting. Here, we aimed identify novel genetic loci through genome-wide association study (GWAS) using Heterogenous Stock rats, genetically diverse outbred...

Heightened has been associated with substance use disorders and multiple co-occurring psychopathologies. Human animal genetic studies have established that is heritable, but only few genes identified. We aimed identify novel loci through genome-wide association study (GWAS) using Heterogeneous Stock (HS) rats, genetically diverse outbred population derived from eight inbred founder...
