Abstract
Working memory is a key function for human cognition, dependenton adequate dopamine neurotransmission. Here we show that the training of working memory, which improves working memory capacity is associated with changes in the density of cortical dopamineD1 receptors. Fourteen hours of training over 5 weeks was associated with changes in both prefrontal and parietal D1 binding potential.This plasticity of the dopamine D1 receptor system demonstratesa reciprocal interplay between mental activity and brain biochemistry in vivo.
