“…Research using human and nonhuman primates on the central mechanisms of SB clearly demonstrates dopaminegic (DA) regulation of rate of SB (Elsworth et al, 1991;Jutkiewicz & Bergman, 2004;Karson, 1983;Kleven & Koek, 1996;Lawrence & Redmond, 1991). Converging evidence for DA regulation in SB rate comes from investigations of psychopathology (Blandini, Nappi, Tassorelli, & Martignoni, 2000;Bodfish, Powell, Golden, & Lewis, 1995;Deuschel & Goddemeier, 1998;Mohr, Sandor, Landis, Fathi, & Brugger, 2005), the biological bases of personality (Wacker, Chavanon, & Stemmler, 2006;Pauls, Wacker, & Crost, 2005;Sax & Stratkowski, 1998) and cognitive research (Colzato, van Wouwe, & Hommel, 2007;Müller et al, 2007;Pivik & Dykman, 2003). However, some researchers have failed to demonstrate a relationship between SB and DA function (e.g., van der Post, de Waal, de Kam, Cohen, & van Gerven, 2004).…”
