For several decades, although studies of rat physiology and behavior have abounded, research on rat emotions has been limited in scope to fear, anxiety, and pain. Converging …
Dendrites receive the vast majority of a single neuron's inputs, and coordinate the transformation of these signals into neuronal output. Ex vivo and theoretical evidence has …
In their pioneering study on dopamine release, Romo and Schultz speculated"... that the amount of dopamine released by unmodulated spontaneous impulse activity exerts a tonic …
In the last decades, clinical neuroscience found a novel ally in neurotechnologies, devices able to record and stimulate electrical activity in the nervous system. These technologies …
