Brain discovery opens door to earlier detection of metabolic syndrome in women McGill University researchers have identified a brain function that helps explain why childhood stress raises metabolic health risks for some women later in life. A new study found that variations in ...

🧠 New research led by Dr. Patricia Pelufo Silveira sheds light on why some women face a higher risk of metabolic syndrome after experiencing childhood stress, which could lead to earlier detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease. 🧪 @mcgill.ca

Subsecond dopamine fluctuations do not specify the vigor of ongoing actions Nature Neuroscience - Liu and colleagues show that the vigor (that is, speed and amplitude) of dexterous movements is not controlled by ongoing fluctuations in extracellular dopamine within the...

Delighted to see this finally out: rdcu.be/eO9oW
We tested whether brief striatal dopamine release events influence the vigor of skilled movements. Despite popular belief, we did not find any evidence linking rapid dopamine dynamics to motor vigor on a moment-by-moment basis.
