Editing Dopaminergic pathways (section)

=== Nigrostriatal pathway ===
The [[nigrostriatal pathway]] is involved in behaviors relating to movement and motivation. The transmission of dopaminergic neurons to the [[dorsal striatum]] particularly plays a role in reward and motivation while movement is influenced by the transmission of dopaminergic neurons to the substantia nigra.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Balleine BW, Delgado MR, Hikosaka O | title = The role of the dorsal striatum in reward and decision-making | journal = The Journal of Neuroscience | volume = 27 | issue = 31 | pages = 8161–8165 | date = August 2007 | pmid = 17670959 | pmc = 6673072 | doi = 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1554-07.2007 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Mishra A, Singh S, Shukla S | title = Physiological and Functional Basis of Dopamine Receptors and Their Role in Neurogenesis: Possible Implication for Parkinson's disease | journal = Journal of Experimental Neuroscience | volume = 12 | pages = 1179069518779829 | date = 2018 | pmid = 29899667 | pmc = 5985548 | doi = 10.1177/1179069518779829 }}</ref> The  nigrostriatal pathway is associated with conditions such as Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, ADHD, Schizophrenia, and Tourette's Syndrome.
