A new interdisciplinary study by researchers from the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and the Andrew and Erna ...

Scientists have confirmed a neurobiochemical link between dopamine and cognitive flexibility. PET imaging shows that the brain increases dopamine production when completing cognitively demanding tasks ...

VMA and HVA are biologically inactive phenolic acids derived from the pressor amines and in part, from dopamine as shown in Figure 1. In this figure the horizontal arrows represent biosynthesis ...

Naturally rewarding stimuli (i.e. food, sex, etc) increase the activity of dopamine cells in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system causing increased dopamine release in brain areas such as the nucleus ...

New research out of Michigan State University expands on current understanding of the brain chemical dopamine, finding that it plays a role in reducing the value of memories associated with rewards.

Dopamine is an inotropic agent that has vasodilatory effects at low doses. It is a common belief that low-dose dopamine may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of acute renal failure and is ...
