The following is a summary of “Abnormal static and dynamic functional connectivity of striatal subregions in patients with ...

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 ...

The study, published in the journal PLOS One, found that the groove response is so strong it is even found in people with ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Selective depletion of dopaminergic neurotransmission in the caudal sensorimotor striatum, a subdivision implicated in habitual control, is a major pathological feature in Parkinson’s disease (PD).
