🌟New Research Alert🌟 🧠 Cutting-edge neuroscience from De Leonibus' group, now in #NatureCommunications! This study reveals how different doses of D1 dopamine agonists bidirectionally regulate memory capacity via fronto-striatal cAMP/PKA signaling in mice.
Cortico-striatal circuit mechanisms drive the effects of D1 dopamine agonists on memory capacity in mice through cAMP/PKA signalling - Nature Communications
D1 receptor agonists bidirectionally regulate working memory capacity (WMC). Here, the authors show that low doses enhance WMC by activating cAMP/PKA in the striatum, whereas high doses impair it via ...
