Sensory experiences and learning induce long-lasting changes in both excitatory and inhibitory synapses, thereby providing a crucial substrate for memory. However, the co-tuning of excitatory ...

Dopamine (DA) is a neuromodulator that acts on multiple different receptors 1. Like other neuromodulators, it exerts its effects by interacting with G-protein coupled receptors, which in turn modify ...

The human brain is known to store various memories for long periods of time, progressively learning from new experiences and forming adaptive representations that ultimately guide decision-making and ...

Dopamine is not just a reward signal — new research shows it precisely fine-tunes inhibitory brain circuits essential for learning, memory formation and mental health Wroclaw Medical University, ...
