Summary

This study looks at how dopamine, a brain chemical, influences our ability to remember whether something really happened or was just imagined. Researchers will give healthy volunteers either a dopamine-boosting drug, a dopamine-blocking drug, or a placebo, then test their memory. The goal is to better understand memory problems in conditions like schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
