Dopamine Does Double Duty in Motivating Cognitive Effort
Cognitive control is subjectively costly, suggesting that engagement is modulated in relationship to incentive state. Dopamine appears to play key roles. In particular, dopamine may mediate cognitive effort by two broad classes of functions: (1) modulating the functional parameters of working memory circuits subserving effortful cognition, and (2) mediating value-learning and decision-making ab...
متن کاملGle1 Does Double Duty
During nuclear export, Gle1 (the nuclear-pore-associated mRNA export factor) activates the DEAD-box protein Dbp5 to remodel exported mRNA-protein complexes on the cytoplasmic face of the nuclear pore complex. In this issue, Bolger et al. (2008) now report additional roles for Gle1 in translation initiation and termination.
متن کاملRECQ1's double duty
Why are cel ls so tense? C ells might be able to rapidly adjust their stiffness by contracting myosin motors, according to a new cytoskeleton model from Daisuke Mizuno, Christoph Schmidt (Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany), and colleagues. Cells adjust their rigidity when they interact with the extracellular matrix, for example, and when an external force acts on them. To mimic cytos...
متن کاملDopamine, Behavioral Economics, and Effort
There are numerous problems with the hypothesis that brain dopamine (DA) systems, particularly in the nucleus accumbens, directly mediate the rewarding or primary motivational characteristics of natural stimuli such as food. Research and theory related to the functions of mesolimbic DA are undergoing a substantial conceptual restructuring, with the traditional emphasis on hedonia and primary re...
متن کاملChromatin Proteins Do Double Duty
The histone acetyltransferase MOF (males-absent-on-the-first) is required for the regulation of X chromosome gene dosage compensation in Drosophila males. In this issue, Kind et al. (2008) show that MOF is also found on autosomes and that it has two modes of binding: one in males for X chromosome dosage compensation and the other in both sexes for X chromosome and autosomal gene regulation inde...
