Dopamine Modulates Striato-Frontal Functioning during Temporal Processing
With genesis in the ventral tegmental area and the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), the neurotransmitter dopamine influences brain function through three distinct pathways: the nigrostriatal, mesolimbic, and mesocortical. Dopamine plays a crucial role in a range of functions, for example: reward-related processing (Schultz et al., 1997) and reinforcement learning (Montague et al., 1996; Fr...
متن کاملCognitive deficits and striato-frontal dopamine release in Parkinson's disease.
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) is often accompanied by a pattern of executive deficits similar to those found in patients with frontal lobe lesions. We investigated whether such cognitive deficits are attributable to frontal lobe dysfunction as a direct consequence of impaired mesocortical dopaminergic transmission or an indirect consequence of impaired nigrostriatal dopaminergic function....
متن کاملFrontal Lobe/Executive Functioning
Abstract The frontal lobes represent a large area, consuming approximately one-third of the cortical surface of the brain. This area is involved directly and indirectly across a wide spectrum of human thought, behavior and emotions. The irony of the frontal lobes may best be described as the area of the brain we know the most about but understand the least. For example, frontal lobe functioning...
متن کاملFrontal and temporal dysfunction of auditory stimulus processing in schizophrenia.
Attention deficits have been consistently described in schizophrenia. Functional neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies have focused on anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) dysfunction as a possible mediator. However, recent basic research has suggested that the effect of attention is also observed as a relative amplification of activity in modality-associated cortical areas. In the present s...
متن کاملFrontal and superior temporal auditory processing abnormalities in schizophrenia☆
BACKGROUND Although magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies show superior temporal gyrus (STG) auditory processing abnormalities in schizophrenia at 50 and 100 ms, EEG and corticography studies suggest involvement of additional brain areas (e.g., frontal areas) during this interval. Study goals were to identify 30 to 130 ms auditory encoding processes in schizophrenia (SZ) and healthy controls (HC...
