Discovering Dopamine’s Role in the Brainby Neuroscience News |
Researchers pay tribute to Arvid Carlsson, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research into dopamine, and evaluate what his research means to modern neuroscience.
By decreasing dopamine levels in the brains of rabbits in his lab in Gothenburg, Carlsson was able to show that if you don’t have the right level of dopamine in your brain, the circuits that determine how the brain controls movement don’t work properly. They also become better at maintaining the lie over time. NeuroscienceNews.com image is in the public domain.
