What Masud Husain actually said

  1. Masud Husain Professor of Neurology at the University of Oxford
    Dopamine in the human brain isn't all about motivation to action. There's dopamine in other parts of the brain. We know from some really classical work by Patricia Goldman Rakit, for example, that dopamine is important for working memory, short-term memory.
