The strength of aversive and appetitive associations and maladaptive behaviors [PDF]

open access: yesIUBMB Life, 2014
AbstractCertain maladaptive behaviors are thought to be acquired through classical Pavlovian conditioning. Exaggerated fear response, which can develop through Pavlovian conditioning, is associated with acquired anxiety disorders such as post‐traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs).

Motivational Objects in Natural Scenes (MONS): A Database of >800 Objects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In daily life, we are surrounded by objects with pre-existing motivational associations. However, these are rarely controlled for in experiments with natural stimuli.

Neurophysiological Processing of Emotion and Parenting Interact to Predict Inhibited Behavior: An Affective-Motivational Framework

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Although inhibited behavior problems are prevalent in childhood, relatively little is known about the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that predict a child’s ability to regulate inhibited behavior during fear- and anxiety-provoking tasks.

Cognitive appraisal of environmental stimuli induces emotion-like states in fish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The occurrence of emotions in non-human animals has been the focus of debate over the years. Recently, an interest in expanding this debate to non-tetrapod vertebrates and to invertebrates has emerged. Within vertebrates, the study of emotion in teleosts

The Neural Encoding of Cocaine-Induced Devaluation in The Ventral Pallidum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cocaine experience affects motivation structures such as the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and its major output target, the ventral pallidum (VP). Previous studies demonstrated that both NAc activity and hedonic responses change reliably as a taste cue comes ...

Differences in brain circuitry for appetitive and reactive aggression as revealed by realistic auditory scripts

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Aggressive behavior is thought to divide into two motivational elements: The first being a self-defensively motivated aggression against threat and a second, hedonically motivated ‘appetitive’ aggression.

Association between eating behavior and the immediate neural activity caused by viewing food images presented in and out of awareness: A magnetoencephalography study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Obesity is a serious health problem in modern society. Considering the fact that the outcomes of treatments targeting appetitive behavior are suboptimal, one potential reason proposed for these poor outcomes is that appetitive behavior is driven more by ...

Associative memory stored by functional novel pathway rather than modifications of preexisting neuronal pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Associative conditioning involves changes in the processing pathways activated by sensory information to link the conditioned stimulus (CS) to the conditioned behavior.

Get to grips with motivation: Slipping and gripping movements are biased by approach-avoidance context

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
People are better at approaching appetitive cues signaling reward and avoiding aversive cues signaling punishment than vice versa. This action bias has previously been shown in approach-avoidance tasks involving arm movements in response to appetitive or

Role of appetitive phenotype trajectory groups on child body weight during a family-based treatment for children with overweight or obesity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
OBJECTIVE:Emerging evidence suggests that individual appetitive traits may usefully explain patterns of weight loss in behavioral weight loss treatments for children. The objective of this study was to identify trajectories of child appetitive traits and
