flag McGill University researchers identified a key role of striatum dopamine neurons in balancing movement, reward, and cognition, potentially leading to treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

flag Researchers from McGill University discovered a crucial role of a small group of dopamine neurons in the striatum in balancing brain functions related to movement, reward, and cognition. flag This could lead to new treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's, and addiction. flag The unique cellular characteristics in response to dopamine suggest this group of neurons at the origin of a new pathway is essential for forebrain functioning. flag Further research will explore the pathway's influence on cognitive processes and its role in psychiatric disorders.
