Professor Berry is interested in how individual differences in the dopamine system shape functional interactions among prefrontal cortex, striatum and hippocampus. Her research combines behavior and ...

The hippocampus (purple) sent important information to brain areas responsible for learning, like the striatum (teal). Specifically, the hippocampus kept track of associations between features in ...

This, in turn, activates the striatum, the part of the brain involved in reward processing and motivation. By stimulating the hippocampus, one may enhance other brain regions that influence ...

A new study from the University of Toronto suggests that doing just one new thing each day—no matter how small—can ...

striatum, and hippocampus regions of the brain. They also exhibited weaker binding potential of dopamine receptors in the amygdala. The research was published in Neuropsychopharmacology.
