dopaminútvonalak
Dopaminútvonalak, also known as dopamine pathways, are crucial neural circuits in the brain that utilize the neurotransmitter dopamine. These pathways play significant roles in a variety of essential functions, including motivation, reward, pleasure, motor control, and executive functions such as planning and problem-solving.
There are several major dopamine pathways in the brain. The mesolimbic pathway originates in the ventral tegmental
The nigrostriatal pathway extends from the substantia nigra to the striatum. This pathway is primarily responsible
The tuberoinfundibular pathway originates in the hypothalamus and influences hormone release, particularly prolactin.
Dysfunction in dopamine pathways is implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. For example, imbalances in
