Reduced activation in the ventral striatum during probabilistic decision-making in patients in an at-risk mental state.
BACKGROUND Patients with schizophrenia display metacognitive impairments, such as hasty decision-making during probabilistic reasoning - the "jumping to conclusion" bias (JTC). Our recent fMRI study revealed reduced activations in the right ventral striatum (VS) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to be associated with decision-making in patients with schizophrenia. It is unclear whether these...
متن کاملMDMA Abuse in Relation to MicroRNA Variation in Human Brain Ventral Tegmental Area and Nucleus Accumbens
Aim 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is one of the most widespread illegal drugs, used particularly by young people in the 15-34 age group. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously synthesized, non-coding and small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate their target genes’ expression by inhibiting protein translation or degradation. miRNAs are increasingly implicated in drug-related...
متن کاملDistinctive roles for the ventral striatum and ventral prefrontal cortex during decision-making.
thalamocortical connectivity in mice. Back-labeled cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (red) and in the ventrobasal nucleus (green) of the thalamus were observed after a single DiI crystal was placed into the primary visual cortex and DiA into the primary somatosensory cortex of a postnatal day 10 mouse. This pattern persists in mice in which Pax6 has been knocked out. For more infor...
متن کاملExpectancies in Decision Making, Reinforcement Learning, and Ventral Striatum
Decisions can arise in different ways, such as from a gut feeling, doing what worked last time, or planful deliberation. Different decision-making systems are dissociable behaviorally, map onto distinct brain systems, and have different computational demands. For instance, "model-free" decision strategies use prediction errors to estimate scalar action values from previous experience, while "mo...
متن کاملActivation of the ventral tegmental area increased wakefulness in mice
The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is crucial for brain functions, such as voluntary movement and cognition; however, the role of VTA in sleep-wake regulation when directly activated or inhibited remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of activation or inhibition of VTA neurons on sleep-wake behavior using the pharmacogenetic "designer receptors exclusively activated by design...
