Dopaminergic mesocortical projections to M1: role in motor learning and motor cortex plasticity
Although the architecture of a dopaminergic (DA) system within the primary motorcortex (M1) was well characterized anatomically, its functional significance remainedobscure for a long time. Recent studies in rats revealed that the integrity ofdopaminergic fibers in M1 is a prerequisite for successfu...
