Nature Human Behavior published the research by scientists at Emory University. It gives the first detailed view of ventral striatum activity during three phases of effort-based decision-making -- the ...

Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), University of Pennsylvania, and California State University, have established the existence of a biological difference ...

In a recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers investigated the causal contribution of specific oscillatory activity patterns within the human striatum to reinforcement motor ...

Neuroscientists have provided clear visual evidence that a region of the human brain known as the ventral striatum kicks in during decision-making to weigh the costs versus the benefits of making a ...

A new approach for analyzing imaging data from the striatum—a structure deep within the brain—has been developed. The approach allowed researchers to identify and quantify changes in the striatum that ...

A recent study revealed that a long-term value memory maintained in the ventral striatum in the brain is a neural basis of our habitual seeking behavior. Researchers have been investigating how the ...

Studies by an international research team have revealed how the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, signaling at sub-second speed in the human brain, appear to integrate and shape how people ...
