Biol Psychiatry. 2014 Sep 22. pii: S0006-3223(14)00703-3. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2014.09.004. Twining RC1, Wheeler DS2, Ebben AL2, Jacobsen AJ2, Robble MA2, Mantsch JR2, Wheeler RA2. Abstract Background Stressors negatively impact emotional state and drive drug seeking, in part, by modulating the activity of the mesolimbic dopamine system. Unfortunately, the rapid regulation of dopamine signaling by the aversive […]

Nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex (marked) can process “greater than” and “less than” rules better under the influence of dopamineThe chemical messenger dopamine – otherwise known as the happiness hormone – is important not only for motivation and motor skills. It seems it can also help neurons with difficult cognitive tasks. Torben Ott, Simon […]
