D-Cycloserine and Cocaine Cue Reactivity: Preliminary Findings [PDF]
D-cycloserine (DCS), a partial glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor agonist, enhances extinction of conditioned fear responding in rodents and facilitates exposure-based learning in humans with anxiety disorders.This preliminary study investigates DCS pretreatment on response to cocaine cues in cocaine-dependent subjects.Ten cocaine ...

Postretrieval Extinction Attenuates Alcohol Cue Reactivity in Rats [PDF]
Conditioned responses to alcohol-associated cues can hinder recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD). Cue exposure (extinction) therapy (CET) can reduce reactivity to alcohol cues, but its efficacy is limited by phenomena such as spontaneous recovery and reinstatement that can cause a return of conditioned responding after extinction.

The role of simulations in consumer experiences and behavior: insights from the grounded cognition theory of desire [PDF]
What are the mechanisms by which extrinsic and environmental cues affect consumer experiences, desires, and choices? Based on the recent grounded cognition theory of desire, we argue that consumption and reward simulations constitute a central mechanism ...

The Influence of Emotional Material on Encoding and Retrieving Intentions: An ERP Study in Younger and Older Adults [PDF]
Prospective memory is a cognitive process that comprises the encoding and maintenance of an intention until the appropriate moment of its retrieval. It is of highly relevance for an independent everyday life, especially in older adults; however, there is

The Effect of Olanzapine on Craving and Alcohol Consumption
Previous studies have indicated that olanzapine decreases craving after a priming dose of alcohol, that craving after a priming dose of alcohol is greater among individuals with the seven-repeat allele of the DRD4 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR)
