 Project Summary  Luke R. Johnson, D.Phil. (Young Investigator 2001) of New York University, is attempting to understand the effect of dopamine on individual nerve cells of a brain structure called the amygdala. He will record the electrical changes that dopamine produces in individual nerve cells and also map the relationship between response of nerve cells to dopamine and their location in the network of the amygdala. This should provide insights into the way amygdala nerve cells change their electrical activity when an animal or human experiences fear and when patients experience paranoid psychosis.
