Description
The neurotransmitter dopamine is important for the learning of new behavior. Even after the behavior became well-established and may become habitual in its execution, the role of dopamine is essential. My group of neuroscientists wants to discover which brain pathways coordinate dopamine release during such habit formation, because rigid habits that arise as a result of a disruption of this coordination can lead to psychiatric illnesses.
