This research explores how dopamine neurons influence learning and behavior, particularly in the context of addiction. By using genetic and optogenetic techniques in fruit flies, the project aims to understand how these neurons affect learning processes and how addictive substances can disrupt them.
An ability to predict the consequences of one’s actions is the hallmark of adaptive intelligence.
Learning involves the updating of predictions based on past experience, a process thought to be driven by dopaminergic neurons.
Dopaminergic systems can also impart motivational control over learned behaviour.
Drug-induced dopamine release can subvert these adaptive systems and link desire for addictive drugs with particular behaviours, environmental cues and motivational states.A fly learning to as…
