BUSINESS INFORMATION - One team of researchers Argentina and Brazil to make findings about the important role of "neurotransmitter dopamine in the memory, so pengumumkan" Pontififcal Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUC-RS), Fri.

The research also published in the magazine "Science", a Friday. Penilitian that lasted two years and led by professors of the PUC-RS, Martin Cammarota, Janine Rossato, Lia Bevilaqua and Ivan Izquierdo, and Professor Jorge Media, who is visiting, from Buenos Aires University.

In that study, scientists have succeeded in biochemistry showed through experiments on mice that "dopamine" is responsible for the retention and non-terlupakannya the long-term trauma.

According to scientists, and 12 hours after events occurred - in the experiment, all mice used as the object of electric shock - the brain menghasilakn high dose "dopamine," which makes all the mice remember the painful experience for a period of time.

However, if the rat brain do not produce "dopamine" in the stage, the incident is forgotten, and all the mice will not avoid the electric shock.

Interference that may explain why many people, such as drug addict habitue, insisted to do the behavior that damage despite the negative impact.

According to Professor Cammarota, knowing how to recall the events that happen, scientists may, in future, produce drugs to help patients' cognitive power interruption, such as Alzheimer's Disease, and / or behavior that is not self-adjust continuously, such as drug addict addicted.
