Psychotherapy Commission ACPEThe article compares structural brain changes and molecular signatures in Alzheimer’s disease and late-life depression, highlighting distinct patterns of gray matter loss and neurotransmitter systems. It also notes overlaps in serotonin disruption and mitochondrial energy issues, while pointing out condition-specific differences in cholinergic, dopaminergic, and glutamatergic dynamics.
The piece is of interest to psychology readers because it connects brain structure, chemical signaling, and cell-level differences to clinically observable symptoms, illustrating how distinct biological pathways can underlie similar cognitive and mood presentations.

Fabrizio Musacchio🍬🐁 🧠 New paper by Gong et al: Larger rewards can make #mice learn much faster than standard low-reward protocols suggest.
Across navigation, motor-skill & #DecisionMaking tasks, reward magnitude improved #learning efficiency by increasing learning rate, sustaining task engagement & helping carry improvements across sessions. Larger rewards also produced stronger, longer striatal #dopamine responses, & #optogenetic DA boosting reproduced part of the effect.
alexandernikiI've been thinking for a long time about why it is so hard for me to quit smoking cigarettes. I mean really hard.
The answer was always right here, laying on right on the surface. It was nessesary just to concentrate a little.
Dopamine. An important thing, that our brains produce in response to pleasant experiences and which then affects a number of cognitive processes.

"... Here we critically review evidence collected during the past 40-plus years supporting the role of dopamine dysfunction in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
...
Examining the evidence in this way leads us to conclude that there is evidence for the involvement of dopamine but limited evidence for a hypo-dopaminergic state per se as a key component of ADHD. ..."
