Establishing that a lower dopamine uptake rate can lead to a 'tonic' level of dopamine in the ventral but not dorsal striatum, and that dopamine concentration changes at short delays can be tracked by ...

The key observation is that a reduced DA uptake rate in the ventral striatum (VS) compared to the dorsal striatum (DS) can produce an appreciable "tonic" level of DA in VS and not DS. In both areas ...

Ever found yourself tapping your foot to a beat without even thinking about it? A new study from Concordia University ...

People with musical anhedonia do not enjoy music but still feel the urge to move. Movement itself may generate pleasure.

Scientists studied the correlation between groove response and people with musical anhedonia - those who take little or no ...

The pleasurable urge to move to music — to groove — appears to be a physiological response independent of how much we generally enjoy music, according to a new paper led by Concordia researchers. That ...

Decreased ventral striatum activity to natural social incentives were associated with social motivation and pleasure deficits even when controlling for other symptoms, such as diminished expressivity.

Study finds that the urge to move to music is thought to be a physiological reflex independent of a person’s musical tastes.

Damage to the dorsal striatum impairs the ability to form habits, resulting in an over-reliance on slower and more effortful goal-directed modes of action at the expense of the faster and less ...

He does note that the urge to move has been linked to the dorsal striatum, a part of the brain that is linked to motor functions, while pleasure is more associated with the ventral striatum ...

Results: All patients with EOFAD showed high amyloid deposition in the striatum, a pattern that is not usually seen in patients with late-onset sporadic AD. The SUVR in the striatum, especially in the ...
