Deep brain stimulation shows promise for reducing self-injurious behavior in children with autismSevere self-injurious behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) poses a significant risk of permanent physical injury.
Previous studies had hinted that dopamine levels in the ventral striatum play a role in insulin sensitivity, and that DBS increases those levels. To find out whether the dopamine changes might ...
Experiments in rats suggest that reduced dopamine receptor availability in the brain's ventral striatum may underlie links between impulsivity and addiction. The findings provide one of the first ...
