X 摘要

Manipulations of dopamine levels in the dorsal and ventral striatum are shown to affect the activation of behaviour in distinct, yet parallel ways, which depend upon the nature of the neocortical and limbic input to these structures. Whereas dopamine in the dorsal striatum contributes to the sensorimotor co-ordination of consummatory behaviour and the development of a `response set' in motor preparatory processes for skilled responses, dopamine in the ventral striatum influences the impact of reward-related stimuli on appetitive aspects of behaviour. The circumstances under which the striatal dopamine projections are normally active to effect these functions are defined by studies which attempt to correlate firing in single units or neurochemical indices of dopamine activity with environmental conditions, internal states and behaviour.

RIS BibTeX
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
