Activity of this brain network increases during positive feedback, and is accompanied by the release of dopamine, a brain chemical involved in transferring
information between brain areas.

Writing in the journal Neuron, the scientists found that reading increased the quality of white matter, the
brain tissue that carries signals
between areas of gray matter, where
information is processed.
This loss of connectivity means that
information can not flow as it should
between distant
areas of the
brain, which may help explain impairment in social responsiveness, Jann said.
«The
brain's ability to take in visual and sensory
information and transform that into physical movements requires communication
between the parietal
area at the back of the
brain and the frontal regions,» explains Sergio.
However, there does seem to be decreased communication
between two
brain areas: the right hippocampus, involved in memory, and the prefrontal cortex, which is important for monitoring
information, attention and working memory.
Another
brain region, the junction
area between temporal and parietal cortex that has been related to the shielding of thoughts against irrelevant
information, is less strongly connected to the rest of the
brain network.
We realized that this could be an exciting finding that may account for how contextual
information is processed and conveyed
between brain areas for the formation of fear memory for the context associated with an aversive event.»
Published in Neuron, scientists led by Gladstone associate investigator Anatol Kreitzer, PhD, discovered that dopamine depletion causes a miscommunication
between the BG and another region called the thalamus, an
area thought to relay sensory
information to the
brain.
Researchers discover an inhibitory connection
between certain
brain areas that can control the timing of
information flow to the prefrontal cortex...
This data from one of the most exciting
areas of
brain - based learning research gives us a way to see which techniques and strategies stimulate or impede communication
between the parts of the
brain when
information is processed and stored.
Hippocampus: This is the
area of the
brain next to the amygdala that creates connections
between prior learning and experiences with new
information.
Sensory problems — Injuries to this
area may interrupt the pathway
between the
brain's perception of
information and its ability to understand it.
