| | Dopaminergic pathways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The nigrostriatal pathway transmits dopamine from the substantia nigra to the striatum. | | | The mesocortical pathway transmits dopamine from the VTA to the frontal cortex. | | | This pathway is associated with motor control, and degeneration of this pathway is related to Parkinson's disease. |

| | Dopamine |
| | Dopamine neurons in the mesolimbic pathway are particularly associated with these conditions. | | | This theory is often discussed in terms of drugs (such as cocaine) which seem to directly produce dopamine release in these areas, and in relation to neurobiological theories of addiction, which argue that these dopamine pathways are pathologically altered in addicted persons. | | | As a member of the catecholamine family, dopamine is a precurser to epinephrine ( adrenaline) and norepinephrine ( noradrenaline) in the biosynthetic pathways for these neurotransmitters. |

| | Degeneration of the neurons in this pathway is associated with the trembling and muscular rigidity symptomatic of Parkinson’s disease. | | | By blocking this pathway, antipsychotic drugs reduce the intense emotions caused by conditions such as schizophrenia. | | | The mesolimbic pathway is important for memory and for motivating behaviours. |

| | The tuberoinfundibular pathway is a pathway in the brain that connects the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland. | | | Dopamine also travels along the nigrostriatal, mesocortical, and mesolimbic pathways. | | | The hypothalamus is an area in brain that is important for many bodily functions such as sleep, appetite, and temperature control. |

| | Tuberoinfundibular dopamine neurons have cell bodies in the arcuate nucleus and project to the median eminence. | | | Tuberoinfundibular dopamine neurons are insensitive to acute effects of typical dopamine antagonists, such as haloperidol, as well as to dopamine agonists, like apomorphine, which have affinity for both D1 and D2 DA receptors. | | | Moreover, the ability of the dopaminergic modulator, neurotensin, which is found in high concentrations in the hypothalamus, to acutely activate tuberoinfundibular dopamine neurons was assessed. |
