Over time, if enough of the neurons die in the caudate and putamen, which together form the dorsal striatum, then it can cause actual loss of brain tissue volume in that area and expansion of the lateral ventricles.

随着时间的推移，如果由尾壳构成的背侧纹体内死亡的神经元细胞越来越多，会引起该区域的脑组织减少，进而导致侧脑室扩大。

A key brain region in figuring this out is called the caudate nucleus, and it deals with motor behaviors and reward-based learning.

大脑的个键区域被称为尾，它处理运动行为基于奖励的学习。

At least it's related to heightened neural activity in the caudate nucleus.

至少它与尾中神经活动的增有。

The lab offered to 3D-print my caudate.

实验室提供3D打印我的尾体。

There was activity in that little orange dot, the ventral tegmental area, that kind of loop of red is the anterior cingulate and that golden set of horns is the caudates.

那个小橙色点有活动， 腹侧被盖区，那个红色环是前扣带回， 那组金色的角是尾。

What is rather more significant is the finding that the dopamine neurons in the caudate, what on earth is the caudate?

更重要的是，研究发现尾中的多巴胺神经元会活跃起来，那么尾到底是什么东西呢？
