Qi was able to show that another chemical messenger called acetylcholine can trigger dopamine release in the bird’s brain ...

New research has revealed dopamine and weight gain be more related than scientists previously thought they were.

dopamine plays different roles in different brain regions and different situations. Learning more about how it affects mood, cognition, and behavior could help scientists develop new techniques to ...

This chemical messenger acts as a learning signal ... The science of reward pathway recalibration continues to evolve, suggesting more nuanced approaches than early “dopamine fasting ...

The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent ...

Third, we are analyzing the mechanisms by which adenosine and dopamine receptors interact to influence psychostimulant-induced behaviors. Adenosine also plays important roles in regulating neuronal ...

Chronic high-fat diets blunt the brain’s pleasure response to rich foods by impairing NAcLat→VTA signaling in mice.

Hippocampal replay, which is implicated in memory formation and planning, exhibits a reward-dependent spatial specificity that in novel environments requires dopamine signaling.

Yet it remains unclear exactly what kind of dopamine signal is transmitted to the striatum to cause this behavior in primates. In order to understand this dopamine signal, a team of researchers ...

The activation of UPR mt not only depends on the TGF-β Dauer signaling pathway and the ASI-RIM neuronal axis, but also relies ...
