Dopamine under control: Precise tuning of the brain’s brakes determines learning, memory, and mental health
Dopamine plays a crucial role in regulating motivation, reward, and motor control — but when its balance is disrupted, the consequences can be profound. Researchers from Wroclaw Medical University explore how genetic variations affecting dopamine pathways may influence the risk and severity of obstructive sleep apnoea, offering new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms behind this common but often underdiagnosed condition.
