Dopamine-modulated dynamic cell assemblies generated by the GABAergic striatal microcircuit [PDF]
The striatum, the principal input structure of the basal ganglia, is crucial to both motor control and learning. It receives convergent input from all over the neocortex, hippocampal formation, amygdala and thalamus, and is the primary recipient of ...

The Dopaminergic Midbrain Encodes the Expected Certainty about Desired Outcomes [PDF]
Dopamine plays a key role in learning; however, its exact function in decision making and choice remains unclear. Recently, we proposed a generic model based on active (Bayesian) inference wherein dopamine encodes the precision of beliefs about optimal ...

Neuronal and psychological underpinnings of pathological gambling [PDF]
Like in the case of drugs, gambling hijacks reward circuits in a brain which is not prepared to receive such intense stimulation. Dopamine is normally released in response to reward and uncertainty in order to allow animals to stay alive in their ...

Milnacipran affects mouse impulsive, aggressive, and depressive-like behaviors in a distinct dose-dependent manner [PDF]
Serotonin/noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are widely used for the treatment for major depressive disorder, but these drugs induce several side effects including increased aggression and impulsivity, which are risk factors for substance abuse ...
