Introduction to Dopaminergic Response

In humans, social rejection can lead to either increased or decreased social motivation, and is associated with activity in the insular cortex; while chronic loneliness is typically associated with decreased social motivation but has been associated with altered dopaminergic responses in the striatum.

These results suggest that the interaction of temperature and bifenthrin may be adversely impacting predator-avoidance behavior, which may not be related to dopaminergic responses.

No significant sex differences in basal levels or in dopaminergic response to drugs of abuse were found.

1, to track striatal dopamine levels across the spontaneous sleep–wake cycle and the dopaminergic response to external stimuli.

Insulin modulates the central dopaminergic response and changes behavioral responses to reward.

The dopamine autoreceptors on the VTA dopaminergic neurons have complex modulatory effects on the dopaminergic response.

Presented models account for dopaminergic responses during movements, effects of dopamine depletion on behaviour, and make several experimental predictions.

Furthermore, oxytocin pretreated mice displayed a reduced dopaminergic response to the drug challenge of nomifensine relative to control mice.

The application of these models to understanding the role of phasic midbrain dopaminergic responses in reward prediction learning constitutes one of the greatest success stories in behavioural and cognitive neuroscience.

Currently, treatment of FoG is based on maximizing its dopaminergic response and using rehabilitation techniques, as well as off-label non-dopaminergic therapies to address refractory symptoms.
