This diagram shows that dopamine regulates neuron specification, suggesting its role in modulating neural circuits during development, potentially contributing to autism spectrum disorder–related ...

Recent evidence suggests that dopamine plays a crucial role in neural development. In a novel study, investigators demonstrated the link between disrupted developmental dopamine signaling and autism ...

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Dopamine is known as "the reward molecule." This diagram illustrates dopaminergic neurons (i.e., dopamine-producing nerve cells) and dopaminergic pathways. Source: VectorMine/Shutterstock Motivation ...

A new study published in the journal Science Signaling has found that an immune system protein plays a central role in the addictive mechanisms of methamphetamine. The findings suggest that tumor ...
