The results indicate that dopamine conveys a single, rapidly evolving decision variable, the available reward for investment of effort, which is employed for both learning and motivational functions.
Temporally resolved catecholamine spikes correspond to single vesicle release from individual chromaffin cells.

These measurements represent time-resolved observation of quantal secretion of catecholamine and provide direct evidence for the exocytotic hypothesis.

It is demonstrated that a rapid water rinse step prior to quenching of metabolism reduces components that suppress electrospray ionization thereby increasing signal for 26 of 27 targeted metabolites and increasing total number of detected features from 237 to 452 with no detectable change of metabolite content.

Together, these data provide direct genetic evidence for a critical role for leptin signaling in islet biology and suggest that altered leptin action in islets is one factor that contributes to obesity-associated diabetes.

Monitoring of glucose and oxygen levels in the extracellular space of single islets of Langerhans in real-time suggested that during oscillations, bursts of glycolysis begin after Ca2+ has stopped entering the cell, which stimulates increases in respiration.

A fundamental difference in how dopamine release is regulated to achieve distinct functions is suggested: broadcast burst signals promote learning, whereas local control drives motivation.

Results include a rapid increase in ATP/ADP, anaplerotic tricarboxylic acid cycle flux, and increases in the malonyl CoA pathway, support prevailing theories of GSIS.
