Neural Pathway Linking Motivation, Addiction and Disease
A groundbreaking study reveals a direct pathway between the brain’s habit-forming basal ganglia and the cerebellum, involved in motor learning. This connection could reshape our understanding of brain functions and inform new treatments for disorders like Parkinson’s. Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearchers say one brain region, the cerebellum, may hold more influence over these dopamine neurons than realized.New findings published today (January 25) in the journal Nature Neuroscience have shed light on a mysterious pathway…
