Learning, decision making, reward perception

in #learning6 years ago

Dopamine is described as more pleasure chemicals. It is used by a set of neurons in the middle brain to transmit messages to other neurons. It is a critical neurotransmitter that underlies control of learning, decision making, reward perception and behavior.

However, dopamine is the main modulator of motivation, which stimulates existing behavior. The brain contains several dopaminergic neurons. I will focus on the dopamine release in the limbic system called mesolimbic DA system.

The limbic system is a series of structures that have an important role in the brain's emotions and memory. In addition, mesolimbic dopamine delivery can be perceived to maximize the reward and affect the neural processes of decision making.

The dopamine neurons stimulate the frontal cortex if the other DA system I will focus on is mesocortical; This stimulation affects functions such as short-term memories, strategy for planning and problem solving.

Our brain gets a lot of stimuli from around the corner, many of these stimuli are insignificant and our brain does the process of removing important stimuli. When there is a positive stimulus, mesolimbic and mesocortical DA systems that make up the brain's reward system are activated. Here, according to the repetition of this positive stimulus, stimulation of the stimulus occurs over time.
