- Summary:
- Since its discovery in the 1960s, a vast and wide-ranging body of research has accumulated about the dopaminergic system. 'Life's Rewards' offers a broad synthesis of our current understanding of this chemical, addressing, amongst others, its intricate relationship with learning and memory, psychopathology, social co-operation and drug abuse. Aimed at students and researchers in neuroscience and psychology, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between dopamine and reward-related incentive learning.
