| | mesolimbic pathway |
 | | Because of this, this pathway is heavily implicated in neurobiological theories of addiction. | | | The '''mesolimbic pathway''' is one of the neural pathways in the brain which links the ventral tegmentum area in the midbrain to the nucleus accumbens. | | | The mesolimbic pathway is one of the major pathways targetted by antipsychotic medication. |

| | Therefore their understanding is closely linked to the practice of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, two disciplines which broadly seek to understand how the structure and function of the brain relates to thought and behaviour. | | | Neurocognitive is a term used to describe cognitive functions closely linked to the function of particular areas, neural pathways, or cortical networks in the brain. | | | The discipline that studies neurocognitive deficits to infer normal psychological function is called cognitive neuropsychology. |

| | The Hebb Legacy |
| | But Hebb believed that a class of theory was needed, of which his was merely one specific form — subject to modification or rejection in the face of new evidence, and that the primary role of our fleetingly correct theories was to stimulate scientific discovery. | | | When philosophy and physiology converged in the 19th century, Psychology emerged with the promise of a science of mental life (Boring, 1950). | | | By providing a neural implementation of the Associationists’ mental chemistry, Hebb fulfilled this promise and laid the foundation for neoconnectionism which seeks to explain cognitive processes in terms of connections between assemblies of real or artificial neurons. |

| | This process allows the formation of significant and long-lasting neural pathways to be influenced by experience early in life. | | | In the other it describes a process in (Click link for more info and facts about neurodevelopment) neurodevelopment where (The junction between two neurons (axon-to-dendrite) or between a neuron and a muscle) synapses which are being most used are kept while least used connections are destroyed or 'pruned' to form neural pathways. | | | In other words it seems the brain becomes rapidly over-connected but we only keep the useful connections. |

| | Not only, as Fuchs and Woessmann propose, can recreational uses be a distraction, crowding out time spent on homework, but our brains -- at least, once we go to work -- appear to suffer in other ways. | | | And while American author Steven Johnson argues in his new book, Everything Bad is Good for You, that video games and certain popular TV shows are making the next generation smarter (because their multi-layered, unresolved soap-opera plots stimulate under-used neural pathways), this sort of virtual multi-tasking clearly has its drawbacks. | | | There's no harm in buying your teen his own computer and dedicated Internet access, so long as you're confident that the Encyclopedia Britannica, and not an online game of Doom, will keep him glued to the screen. |

| | Deuterium is frequently used in chemistry and biochemistry as a tracer molecule to study reaction pathways because chemically it behaves identically to ordinary hydrogen, but it can be distinguished from ordinary hydrogen by its mass. | | | Also, because of its greater mass, chemical reactions involving deuterium tend to occur at a slower rate than the corresponding reactions involving ordinary hydrogen. | | | O), which was a source of some concern during World War II, as Germany was known to be conducting experiments using heavy water as a nuclear reactor moderator, which might allow them to produce plutonium for an atomic bomb. |
