	mesolimbic pathway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		The '''mesolimbic pathway''' is one of the neural pathways in the brain which links the ventral tegmentum area in the midbrain to the nucleus accumbens.
		It is one of the four major pathways where the neurotransmitter dopamine is found.
		Because of this, this pathway is heavily implicated in neurobiological theories of addiction.

		In the other it describes a process in (Click link for more info and facts about neurodevelopment) neurodevelopment where (The junction between two neurons (axon-to-dendrite) or between a neuron and a muscle) synapses which are being most used are kept while least used connections are destroyed or 'pruned' to form neural pathways.
		This has been thought to be loosely analogous to (Provincial capital of the Northern Territory of Australia) Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' maxim and hence has been labelled 'neural Darwinism'.
		This process allows the formation of significant and long-lasting neural pathways to be influenced by experience early in life.

	The Hebb Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Missing from the model, for example, was neural inhibition (Milner, 1957), a concept Hebb later incorporated (1959, 1980a).
		But Hebb believed that a class of theory was needed, of which his was merely one specific form — subject to modification or rejection in the face of new evidence, and that the primary role of our fleetingly correct theories was to stimulate scientific discovery.
		By providing a neural implementation of the Associationists’ mental chemistry, Hebb fulfilled this promise and laid the foundation for neoconnectionism which seeks to explain cognitive processes in terms of connections between assemblies of real or artificial neurons.

		This interlacing of nerve fibers and their junctions allows a nerve impulse to follow any of a virtually unlimited number of pathways.
		The effect is to give humans a seemingly infinite variety of responses to sensory input, which may depend upon experience, mood, or any of numerous other factors.

	ipedia.com: Neurocognitive Article
		Neurocognitive is a term used to describe cognitive functions closely linked to the function of particular areas, neural pathways, or cortical networks in the brain.
		Therefore their understanding is closely linked to the practice of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, two disciplines which broadly seek to understand how the structure and function of the brain relates to thought and behaviour.
		The discipline that studies neurocognitive deficits to infer normal psychological function is called cognitive neuropsychology.

		O), which was a source of some concern during World War II, as Germany was known to be conducting experiments using heavy water as a nuclear reactor moderator, which might allow them to produce plutonium for an atomic bomb.
		Deuterium is frequently used in chemistry and biochemistry as a tracer molecule to study reaction pathways because chemically it behaves identically to ordinary hydrogen, but it can be distinguished from ordinary hydrogen by its mass.
		Also, because of its greater mass, chemical reactions involving deuterium tend to occur at a slower rate than the corresponding reactions involving ordinary hydrogen.

		And while American author Steven Johnson argues in his new book, Everything Bad is Good for You, that video games and certain popular TV shows are making the next generation smarter (because their multi-layered, unresolved soap-opera plots stimulate under-used neural pathways), this sort of virtual multi-tasking clearly has its drawbacks.
		Not only, as Fuchs and Woessmann propose, can recreational uses be a distraction, crowding out time spent on homework, but our brains -- at least, once we go to work -- appear to suffer in other ways.
