2.In the striatum, our study indicated that Allo and verapamil didn’t inhibit veratridine-evoked increase in the PKA activity and the frequency of sEPSCs.
12.One area involved in habitual behavior is the striatum, which actually releases chemicals that inhibit the complex thinking part of your brain for that task.
15.Since usually there's this balance of signaling between dopamine and acetylcholine, a loss of dopamine reaching the striatum increases the relative amount of acetylcholine signalling there.
18.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.
19.Now, the neurons responsible for coordinating movement are located in a part of the brain called the striatum, which receives information from two major sources — the neocortex and a region known as the substantia nigra.
20.But interestingly, if those offered a reward the first time are asked to participate again for no reward, scans show a decrease in activity in the anterior striatum and prefrontal areas,parts of the brain linked to self-motivation.
