Most people are familiar with Pavlovian conditioning, in which a reward-anticipatory behavior follows a reward-predicting ...
A component critical to the model's learning process is a mechanism that emulates the human brain's dopamine delivery system, Soni said. When the model was doing a better job of recalling the ...
In this model, impulsivity provides strong parallels with addiction—with links to a specific behavior (cocaine self-administration) and to changes in signaling of a neurotransmitter (dopamine).
Patients' own stem cells to replace damaged dopamine cells in Parkinson's disease, offering new hope.
Luckily, monogamous prairie voles have turned out to be a good model for studying the formation of pair bonds. University of Colorado Boulder neuroscientist Zoe Donaldson found that dopamine may play ...
Dopamine is an inotropic agent that has vasodilatory effects at low doses. It is a common belief that low-dose dopamine may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of acute renal failure and is ...
