If, as predicted by the reward deficiency syndrome hypothesis, individuals with vulnerability to addictions suffer from a basal functional DA deficit in central brain reward circuits, it would not be unreasonable to inquire about the possible existence of temperamental or behavioral compensations that might serve to augment brain reward functions. Although this leap from neurogenetics and cellular neurobiology to temperament and personality characteristics may seem enormous, evidence has accumulated in recent years to suggest that such correlations may well exist. 

Most of the very successful work in cellular neurobiology was conducted under the protective umbrella of Sherrington s reflex doctrine, which provided sufficient information to help work out how neuronal circuits were organized. The reflex circuit model could explain the following the spinal reflexes involved in posture and movement the encoding of stimuli in sequences of action potentials in neurons, which could lead to sensation and even the coordination of the sensory and motor systems needed to account for movement (motor) behaviour.

The availability of genetically modified mice has advanced our understanding of several neurodegenerative processes. Cellular neurobiology experiments have informed us about mechanisms of neuronal dysfunction in AD and PD mouse models. For instance, recent studies have identified that synaptic transmission is one of the earliest events in the cognitive abnormalities that characterize AD and PD. The integration of this information with data-based circuits modeling, in which neuronal electrical properties, synaptic transmission parameters, and brain oscillations can now be evaluated and it has been recently addressed in PD and AD.

Despite the advent of molecular genetics in neurobiology, our understanding of the functional relationships of the components of the CNS remains in its infancy, particularly in the areas of cellular interaction and synaptic modulation. Nevertheless, the fine structural relationships of most elements of nervous system tissue have been described well [1-5]. The excellent neuroanatomical atlases of Peters et al. [3] and Palay and Chan-Palay [1]...
