Researchers found that the local release of dopamine – a molecule best known for its role in the brain’s reward system – is a ...

The work is published in the journal Science. The VTA DA or dopamine neurons in VTA, also called the brain's reward center, decided the palatability of food and played a key role in driving ...

The study provides compelling evidence that local dopamine release serves as a crucial signal for neural plasticity in the motor cortex, enabling the necessary adaptations for producing precise and ...

People with cannabis use disorder showed higher dopamine in brain areas tied to psychosis. This is why some users develop ...

New research reveals that people with cannabis use disorder (CUD) have elevated dopamine levels in a brain region associated ...

The mesolimbic dopamine system, particularly projections from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the nucleus accumbens (NAc), plays a critical role in food reward processing. The study focused on ...
