To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series ...

The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent ...

Action potential–dependent or evoked neurotransmission is the mode of neurotransmitter release people are more familiar with, in which an electrical signal triggers the release of ...

To uncover what drives sexual behavior in animals, researchers studied the brain activity of male mice throughout the series of actions involved in sex leading up to ejaculation.

"Our study shows that mice with an autism-risk gene, eIF4E, have reduced release of dopamine, a chemical messenger (or neurotransmitter) that is important for motivation, learning and movement ...

A fluorescent probe designed to incorporate a fluorophore into the structure of a neurotransmitter finds activity-dependent heterogeneity in dopamine release at individual synapses ...

Recreational drugs can affect neurotransmitters in the reward pathway within the brain. They can act as either agonists or antagonists. Recreational drugs can also stimulate the release of ...
