Activity of striatal neurons reflects social action and own reward.
Social interactions provide agents with the opportunity to earn higher benefits than when acting alone and contribute to evolutionary stable strategies. A basic requirement for engaging in beneficial social interactions is to recognize the actor whose movement results in reward. Despite the recent interest in the neural basis of social interactions, the neurophysiological mechanisms identifying...
متن کاملPropagation of action potentials in squid giant axons. Repetitive firing at regions of membrane inhomogeneities
Effects of reduction in potassium conductance on impulse conduction were studied in squid giant axons. Internal perfusion of axons with tetraethylammonium (TEA) ions reduces G K and causes the duration of action potential to be increased up to 300 ms. This prolongation of action potentials does not change their conduction velocity. The shape of these propagating action potentials is similar to ...
متن کاملGABA-dependent firing of glutamate-evoked action potentials at AMPA/kainate receptors in developing hypothalamic neurons.
Although it plays a major inhibitory role in the adult mammalian CNS, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) may have an excitatory function in developing neurons. The present study focuses on the dependence of glutamate on GABA to generate action potentials in developing hypothalamic neurons. Under conditions where glutamate by itself could not evoke an action potential, GABA facilitated glutamate-med...
متن کاملAvoiding Punishment Is Its Own Reward
The expression of the EGF receptor, c-erbB-2 and PDGF receptor proteins has been studied in a series of human brain tumour biopsies and cell lines. Western blotting was used to determine the amount of protein present and their intrinsic and ligand promoted enzyme activities were studied by immunoprecipitation followed by autophosphorylation. EGF receptors were found to be expressed at very high...
متن کاملReputation Management: In Autism, Generosity Is Its Own Reward
A recent study has found that autistic people donate the same to charity regardless of whether they are observed. This is not because they are oblivious to others, but because they are free of hypocrisy.
