| description | In the last decade, expanding animal studies
on the cerebral organization of reward processing
toward human in vivo situations has become
possible. In this review, we define some of the
concepts associated with reward, summarize the
crucial importance of the dopaminergic system,
and discuss the currently available neuroimaging
studies in man. We will show that
abstract concepts of human behavior like
emotions, drive, arousal, and reinforcement are
now open for further exploration in man at the
level of neuronal circuit organization. The
cerebral dopaminergic neurotransmitter circuitry
does play an important role in the organization
of both the motor and motivational system. |
