Dopamine’s Influence on Prefrontal Cortical Cognition: Actions and Circuits in Behaving Primates
This chapter summarizes current knowledge of dopamine (DA) and DA receptor localization in primate prefrontal cortex (PFC), and the powerful influences of DA on PFC physiology and cognitive function. It begins with an overview of PFC function, physiology, and circuitry. It then discusses the anatomy of DA and its receptors in the primate PFC, the effects of DA on PFC physiology and function, and the role of changes in DA transmission in PFC in several neuropsychiatric disorders.
Keywords: dopamine, prefrontal cortex, primates, cognitive function, neuropsychiatric disorders
