Thesis
Functional properties of the intact and compromised midbrain dopamine system
- Abstract:
-
The midbrain dopamine system is involved in many aspects of purposeful behaviour and, when compromised, can have devastating effects on movement and cognition as seen in diseases like Parkinson’s. In the healthy brain, dopamine neurons are thought to play particularly important roles in learning by signalling errors in reward prediction.
