Phasic dopamine neuron activity elicits unique mesofrontal plasticity in adolescence.
The mesofrontal dopaminergic circuit, which connects the midbrain motivation center to the cortical executive center, is engaged in control of motivated behaviors. In addition, deficiencies in this circuit are associated with adolescent-onset psychiatric disorders in humans. Developmental studies suggest that the mesofrontal circuit exhibits a protracted maturation through adolescence. However,...
متن کاملPhasic Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Encodes
JONATHAN SUGAM: Phasic nucleus accumbens dopamine encodes risk-based decision making behavior (Under the direction of Regina M. Carelli) When deciding to act organisms must correctly evaluate the costs and benefits of action selection in order to optimize resources. Several factors influence the evaluation of reward value including the behavioral cost, the delay to, probability of, and magnitud...
متن کاملAmphetamine paradoxically augments exocytotic dopamine release and phasic dopamine signals.
Drugs of abuse hijack brain-reward circuitry during the addiction process by augmenting action potential-dependent phasic dopamine release events associated with learning and goal-directed behavior. One prominent exception to this notion would appear to be amphetamine (AMPH) and related analogs, which are proposed instead to disrupt normal patterns of dopamine neurotransmission by depleting ves...
متن کاملAstrocytic Actions on Extrasynaptic Neuronal Currents
In the last few decades, knowledge about astrocytic functions has significantly increased. It was demonstrated that astrocytes are not passive elements of the central nervous system (CNS), but active partners of neurons. There is a growing body of knowledge about the calcium excitability of astrocytes, the actions of different gliotransmitters and their release mechanisms, as well as the partic...
متن کاملExtrasynaptic Release of Dopamine in a Retinal Neuron Activity Dependence and Transmitter Modulation
Extrasynaptic release of dopamine is well documented, but its relation to the physiological activity of the neuron is unclear. Here we show that in absence of presynaptic active zones, solitary cell bodies of retinal dopaminergic neurons release by exocytosis packets of approximately 40,000 molecules of dopamine at irregular intervals and low frequency. The release is triggered by the action po...
