A recent study published in Schizophrenia Bulletin on June 13 shows that cerebellum-basal ganglia functional connectivity plays an important role to the development of anhedonia and amotivation in patients with schizophrenia.
The study finds that salient PM cues can
improve event- and time-based PM in school-age children whereas EFT may not improve PM
performance compared to standard encoding. Future research should investigate children’s
ability to voluntarily set salient cues for completing daily PM tasks.
The study highlight the remarkable ability of rodents to engage in targeted helping behavior and suggest that distinct subcortical oxytocinergic pathways selectively and synergistically regulate the motor and emotional aspects of rescue-like behavior.
