To Act or Not to Act: Endocannabinoid/Dopamine Interactions in Decision-Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decision-making is an ethologically adaptive construct that is impaired in multiple psychiatric disorders. Activity within the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system has been traditionally associated with decision-making. The endocannabinoid system through its actions on inhibitory and excitatory synapses modulates dopamine activity and decision-making. The aim of this brief review is to present a synopsis of available data obtained when the endocannabinoid system is manipulated and dopamine activity recorded. To this end, we review research using different behavioral paradigms to provide further insight into how this ubiquitous signaling system biases dopamine-related behaviors to regulate decision-making.

متن کاملDopamine Receptors Antagonistically Regulate Behavioral Choice between Conflicting Alternatives in C. elegans
Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful model to study the neuronal or molecular basis for behavioral choice, a specific form of decision-making. Although it has been implied that both D1-like and D2-like dopamine receptors may contribute to the control of decision-making in mammals, the genetic interactions between D1-like and D2-like dopamine receptors in regulating decision-making are still large...

متن کاملRanking Network-Structured Decision-Making Units and Its Application in Bank Branches
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method used for measuring the efficiency of decision-making units. Unlike the standard models, which assume decision-making units to be a black box, network data envelopment analysis focuses on the internal structure of these units. Some researchers have developed a two-stage method where all the inputs are entirely used in the first stage, producin...
