A fluorescent probe designed to incorporate a fluorophore into the structure of a neurotransmitter finds activity-dependent heterogeneity in dopamine release at individual synapses ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Fluorescent sensors have been used to monitor dopamine signals in primate brains, revealing distinct patterns in the striatum. In rhesus macaques, dopamine ...

Kyoto, Japan -- We're all familiar with Pavlovian conditioning, in which a reward-anticipatory behavior follows a reward-predicting stimulus. Perhaps you experience it yourself when passing a ...

a team of researchers developed a new method of monitoring dopamine, utilizing a fluorescent dopamine sensor. We're all familiar with Pavlovian conditioning, in which a reward-anticipatory ...

The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent ...

Zebra finches learn their courtship songs early in life by first listening to their fathers and memorizing the melodies.

Dopamine is an inotropic agent that has vasodilatory effects at low doses. It is a common belief that low-dose dopamine may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of acute renal failure and is ...

Researchers found that when mice had sex, their brain chemicals dopamine and acetylcholine worked together to produce pleasure.

Dopamine, a powerful brain chemical and neurotransmitter, is a key regulator of many important functions such as attention, experiencing pleasure and reward, and coordinating movement. The brain ...
