The Opposite Side of Dopamine: The D2 Receptor

http://scientopia.org/blogs/scicurious/2011/07/13/the-opposite-side-of-dopamine-the-d2-receptor/ When most people think of dopamine, they think of things that can get you high. Things that feel good.

These events are certainly not all of the important events to take place in neuroscience...just some of the ones that I have selected. 1561 - Gabriele Falloppio publishes Observationes Anatomicae and describes some of the cranial nerves. Separate trochlear and abducens nerves identified 1583 - Georg Bartisch publishes Ophthalmodouleia: das ist Augendienst with drawings of the eye. 1586 - A. Piccolomini distinguishes between cortex and white matter

History of Neuroscience

The main purposes of this review are to set out for neuroscientists one possible approach to the problem of consciousness and to describe the relevant ongoing experimental work. We have not attempted an exhaustive review of other approaches. Clearing The Ground http://www.klab.caltech.edu/~koch/crick-koch-cc-97.html

Consciousness and Neuroscience

Please note that this guide is intended to complement , NOT to replace , textbook readings (i.e., Kandel et al.). Histology textbooks are NOT recommended for the study of nervous tissue. Most histology textbooks begin with relatively insignificant, and often misleading, details rather than emphasizing features important for understanding nervous tissue function. http://www.siumed.edu/~dking2/ssb/neuron.htm

Research

Warning: sometimes ignorance is bliss. After gaining this knowledge, you may be hurt when it is obvious that someone is lying to you. The following deception detection techniques are used by police, forensic psychologists, security experts and other investigators. Introduction to Detecting Lies: This knowledge is also useful for managers, employers, and for anyone to use in everyday situations where telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you from being a victim of fraud/scams and other deceptions.
