Mesolimbic Dopamine System. The mesolimbic dopamine system is a pathway in the brain in which dopamine is carried from one area of the brain to another.Dopamine is responsible for controlling the brainâs pleasure and reward centers.hese pathways carry dopamine from one part of the brain to another. Covering the length of the pathways are neurons featuring axons. Among other functions, these signal-transmitting neurons play a role in the synthesizing of dopamine. Among the eight dopaminergic pathways is the mesolimbic pathway.
All General Schedule (GS) government employees in the U.S. earn more than the base rate pay through locality adjustments. Locality pay rates for all areas are listed on this site. For those not in a specific locality area use the table titled Rest of U.S. The GS-9 step-1 pay on the Base Rate Chart is $42,39.The same grade pays $48,403 on the Rest of U.S. chart and $57,302 in the San Jose, San Francisco-Oakland areas.or those not in a specific locality area use the table titled Rest of U.S. The GS-9 step-1 pay on the Base Rate Chart is $42,39. The same grade pays $48,403 on the Rest of U.S. chart and $57,302 in the San Jose, San Francisco-Oakland areas.
Thus, an employeeâs salary may be raised without moving out of the grade itself. For example, an employee at GS-1 (grade 1), Step 1 will be paid about $16,000 while an employee at GS-1, Step 10 will receive $20,000. This is part of the incentive program the government uses to inspire better employees.There are two promotion patterns when changing grades.he highest grade is GS-15 with the highest salary, which is also the cap for all the salaries. In any given year, a government employee may not be paid more than that limit. As of January 2005, the top salary allowed is $116,517.
