New research reveals that dopamine plays a crucial role in teaching young male mice to fight, with the chemical’s influence ...
Furthermore, these changes were also suppressed when the activity of the ventral tegmental area, which receives input from neurons in the lateral habenula, was pharmacologically inhibited.
Like humans, mice will compete over territory and mates, and show increased confidence in their fighting skills the more they win. At first, a brain chemical called dopamine is essential for young ...
