Learning abilities
2020, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :When moving on from elementary forms of learning in simple-level organisms to mammals, synaptic plasticity must be seen in the context of specific brain structures. For example, the amygdala, a brain region that is part of the limbic system, has been identified as a key structure in the implicit learning of fear (Davis et al., 1994; Le Doux, 1995, 2003). Learned fear involves the same pathways, kinases, and genes as the simple learning forms described earlier, in addition to increased trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors to the synapses of amygdala neurons (Rumpel et al., 2005).
A pilot study into a possible relationship between diet and stuttering
2017, Journal of Fluency DisordersCitation Excerpt :Along these lines, Movsessian (2005) reasoned that a possible hyperdopaminergic state in the brains of PWS can be explained by an increase in the release of dopamine during situations of high psychological stress. Specifically, it is argued that PWS may experience greater periods of dysfluency during high stress situations since the amygdala is activated by stress, leading to increased dopamine in the limbic and prefrontal areas released by the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and subthalamic nucleus (STN; Davis et al., 1994). This hyperdopaminergic state in PWS is argued to suppress activation levels in speech motor circuits, which in turn may lead to interruptions in the flow of speech as evident in stuttering (Movsessian, 2005).
