What is the anterior visual pathway?
The anterior visual pathway refers to the pathway that visual information takes from the eyes to the visual cortex in the brain. It includes the optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts, and lateral geniculate nucleus. This pathway is responsible for transmitting visual signals from the retina to the brain for processing and interpretation.
What is the side of the brain responsible for imagination?
what is the answer of the side of the brain responsible for imagination?
When dopamine levels are elevated this reward pathway reinforces the use of the drug True or false?
Mesolimbic pathway - true. It travels from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens.
What two areas of the brain are critically associated with addiction?
The Nucleus Accumbens and Substantia Nigra both play a very important role in addiction; however, the Ventral Tegmental Area is also closely associated with addiction. The Amygdala, and the Hippocampus are also important to consider in addiction. Addiction is related to the mesolimbic dopamine pathway, which is responsible for motivation, as well as feelings of reward and reinforcement for behavior, and includes the NAcc, VTA, Amygdala, and Hippocampus.
What is the name of the second cranial nerve which provides a pathway from retina to brain?
Its the Optic nerve
The neurotransmitter most frequently associated with the Reward pathway of the brain is?
s the neurotransmitter most closely linked to learning that certain behaviors are rewarding.
What is an effect of psychoactive abuse?

Which of the following statements accurately describes how drugs act on the brain?
Drugs act on the neurons in the reward pathway of the brain. Drugs increase the release of dopamine.
What is the pathway of taste from the tongue to the brain?

What is a contralateral pathway?
A contralateral motor pathway is a neutral pathway located at the opposite side of the brain. It is on the eighth nerve of the cochlear nucleus.
What is neural pathway?
You can think of a brain pathway as a power line that connects two brain regions. Brain pathways are made up of interconnected neurons along which signals are transmitted from one brain region to another.
What is difference between old pathway and new pathway in brain?
one is old, one is new
Do both animals and humans have reward centers in the brain?
Both animals and humans do have reward centers in the brain. Both humans and animals feel happy or pleasure when the reward centers of the brain are stimulated.
Drugs act on the neurons in the reward pathway or the?
Drugs act on the neurons in the limbic system.
What are the theories of abuse?
If you mean the mechanism, substance abuse involves a path of neurons in the brain. In simple terms it is known as the reward pathway and scientifically known as the NAC ( nucleus accumbens ) pathway or " positive reinforcement" pathway.Activation of this circuit of neurons will cause positive reinforcement. (Positive reinforcement is when a stimulus will increase a particular behavior e.g winning money in a jackpot will make a person play it again repeatedly ). The abused substance is responsible for activating this circuitry, hence repeated behavior i.e taking the substance again and again.Note: The NAC pathway is normally activated by a variety of stimuli as well . Positive reinforcement is also normally responsible for producing adaptive behavior. ( Love is a good example ).
