This study finds reduced striatal hemodynamic latency in early psychosis, particularly in dorsal striatal regions, suggesting it may be an indirect marker of dopamine dysfunction.

The paper investigates how hippocampal novelty detection interacts with dopaminergic and prefrontal circuits to enhance target detection and goal-directed behavior in humans.

This study links higher prenatal maternal inflammation to reduced hippocampal neurite density in middle-aged humans.

The paper quantifies structural connectivity between the hippocampus and reward regions in humans using diffusion MRI, finding region-specific connectivity patterns along the hippocampal axis.

This study investigates how novelty affects cortical network plasticity through the VTA and anterior hippocampus, finding distinct patterns of functional coupling changes at different spatial scales.
