Summary
 Dopamine pathways are important for understanding biological bases of behavior, psychiatric disorders, and medication effects on the EPPP. This episode reviews the relationship between dopamine signaling, reinforcement learning, motor control, and psychotic symptoms. We examine the nigrostriatal pathway in Parkinsonian symptoms, the mesolimbic pathway in reward processing, and the effects of dopamine receptor blockade. Three board-style questions help listeners connect neuroscience concepts to clinical assessment and psychological practice.
