Most people are familiar with Pavlovian conditioning, in which a reward-anticipatory behavior follows a reward-predicting ...

Now, using a novel system developed at Janelia, researchers led by the Dudman Lab found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought.

DGIST Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain ...

Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex work ...

This study uncovers a specialized circuit in the striatum that encodes reward variance, offering new perspectives on learning ...

Love happens in the brain, where hormonal releases and brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin are released.
