Researchers at the University of Tsukuba investigated whether monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, are involved in ...

A new review reveals key differences in how stress hormone systems function in primate versus rodent brains, offering insight ...

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes a gradual loss of brain nerve cells, which produce a chemical ...

Neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Center (SWC) at UCL have discovered that the brain uses a dual system for learning ...

An edited version of a figure from the research shows the ventral tegmental area, highlighting dopamine-associated neurons in green and one that connects to the posterior amygdala (magnified in inset) ...

Dopamine deficiency occurs when levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine are low, affecting movement, emotions, sleep, and cognitive function. It is linked to various health conditions, such as ...

Researchers discovered that dopamine activates specific neurons in the amygdala, linked to reward, which drives the unlearning of fear. This suggests that overcoming fear isn't just suppression ...

Neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre (SWC) at UCL have discovered that the brain uses a dual system for learning through trial and error.

Although dopamine (DA) effects in the prefrontal cortex ... regulation of afferent excitatory transmission in PFC pyramidal neurons remains relatively unexplored. Using intracellular sharp ...

Each octopus arm has its own dense network of neurons, up to 350 million across all eight arms, that can work without the ...

UCL researchers have discovered a second dopamine-based learning system in the brain that reinforces repeated actions without ...

The rigorous set of experiments the team reports in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences show that it's dopamine sent to the different amygdala populations from distinct groups of ...
