It plays key roles in motor control and motor learning, memory formation, and reward-seeking behavior, is a major target of cocaine and methamphetamines, and has been assumed to be conserved among vertebrates. We have found, however, that birds, crocodiles, and lizards lack the DAT gene. We...
The simulation environment for the experiments was a PC with a 1.2-GHz Intel Pentium IV processor, 512 MB of main memory, and a Borland JBuilder compiler. The six standard 512 × 512-pixel grayscale VQ images, “Lena,”“F16,”“Pepper,”“Sailboat”, “Tiffany”, and “Baboon”, shown...
