Abstract
Mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons appear to be involved in the organization of the behavioral response. They seem to facilitate the functioning of the integrative structures they innervate and to have a coordinated functioning, thus regulating the information transfer between these structures. In the present paper these two aspects have been investigated by behavioral and neurochemical approaches. Experimental studies were focused on the dopaminergic innervation of the nucleus accumbens.Keywords
