Скачать или смотреть The Science of Adapting Behavior: Unlocking the Brain's Flexibility

Have you ever wondered how we adjust our behavior in different situations? In this video, we explore the fascinating research from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), published in Nature Communications, which reveals the neural mechanisms behind behavioral flexibility. By studying mice in a virtual maze, scientists discovered the crucial role of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, in enabling mice to adapt their behavior when faced with disappointment. This breakthrough has significant implications for understanding and treating various neurological disorders, including addiction, OCD, and Parkinson's disease.
The study highlights the complexity of the brain's ability to adapt, involving interconnected activity across multiple brain areas. Through advanced imaging techniques, researchers observed real-##time neurotransmitter release, providing valuable insights into the fundamental mechanisms of behavioral flexibility. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of neuroscience and discover how these findings may contribute to future medical advancements.
