중구경로

Mesocortical pathway
중문맥 경로는 VTA에서 전두엽 피질에 투영되는 파란색으로 표시되어 있다.

중간고사 경로(meocortical pathway)는 복측 테그먼트룸전전전측 피질을 연결하는 도파민성 경로다.그것은 뇌의 4대 도파민 경로 중 하나이다.등측 전전두피질(전두엽의 일부)의 정상적인 인지 기능에 필수적이며, 인지조절, 동기부여, 감정반응 등에 관여한다고 생각된다.[1][2]

이 통로는 정신분열증 같은 정신질환에서 비정상적이거나 비정상적으로 기능하는 뇌계일 수 있다.[3]항전증, 알로기아, 편평한 영향을 포함하는 정신분열증의 부정적 증상과 관련이 있다고 생각된다.이 경로는 중임브릭 보상 경로라고도 하는 중임브릭 경로와 밀접한 관련이 있다.

New York: McGraw-Hill Medical. p. 318. ISBN 978-0-07-148127-4. Therapeutic (relatively low) doses of psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine, improve performance on working memory tasks both in individuals with ADHD and in normal subjects. Positron emission tomography (PET) demonstrates that methylphenidate decreases regional cerebral blood flow in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex while improving performance of a spatial working memory task. This suggests that cortical networks that normally process spatial working memory become more efficient in response to the drug. Both methylphenidate and amphetamines act by triggering the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, actions mediated via the plasma membrane transporters of these neurotransmitters and via the shared vesicular monoamine transporter (Chapter 6). Based on animal studies with micro-iontophoretic application of selective D1 dopamine receptor agonists (such as the partial agonist SKF38393 or the full agonist SKF81297) and antagonist (such as SCH23390), and clinical evidence in humans with ADHD, it is now believed that dopamine and norepinephrine, but not serotonin, produce the beneficial effects of stimulants on working memory. At abused (relatively high) doses, stimulants can interfere with working memory and cognitive control, as will be discussed below. It is important to recognize, however, that stimulants act not only on working memory function, but also on general levels of arousal and, within the nucleus accumbens, improve the saliency of tasks. Thus, stimulants improve performance on effortful but tedious tasks, probably acting at different sites in the brain through indirect stimulation of dopamine and norepinephrine receptors.
