Using a specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor, MIT neuroscientists have discovered how dopamine released deep within the brain influences both nearby and distant brain regions. Dopamine ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Using a specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor, MIT neuroscientists have discovered how dopamine released deep within the brain influences both nearby and distant brain ...

A new study shows dopamine isn’t the brain’s movement “gas pedal” after all. Instead of setting speed or strength, it quietly ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers perform simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET)-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the pharmacodynamics of ...

A new study from McGill University challenges a decades-old belief about dopamine. Rather than driving movement like a ...

Explore dopamine's role in movement and how it challenges long-standing theories about motor control and Parkinson's disease treatments.

image: Researchers from the University of Tsukuba have found that that during the processing of rewards that change in value over time, dopamine neurons exhibit a pattern of neuronal activity that is ...

The role of dopamine in REM sleep, dream recall, and dream content has come under increasingly stronger scrutiny in recent years. This is theoretically important for understanding sleep and dreams ...
