Low Prefrontal GABA Levels Are Associated With Poor Cognitive Functions in Professional Boxers.

abstract：:The lateral habenula (LHb) plays an important role in motivational decision making. Neurons in the primate LHb signal negative 'reward prediction errors' and inhibit midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons. These negative reward prediction error signals in the LHb are, at least partly, provided by a distinct group of neurons i...
