Abstract
â¶ Dopamine neurons are sensitive to biological programming during development. â¶ These changes are evolutionary adaptations to indicators of adversity. â¶ Both hypo- and hyper-dopaminergic phenotypes emerge. â¶ Directionality of change is proposed to relate to severity and chronicity of insult. â¶ These changes can confer vulnerability for psychopathology.
