A GABAergic projection from the centromedial nuclei of the amygdala to ventromedial prefrontal cortex modulates reward behavior [PDF]
, 2016 The neural circuitry underlying mammalian reward behaviors involves several distinct nuclei throughout the brain. It is widely accepted that the midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons are critical for the reward-related behaviors.

Associative learning impairments in rats lacking dopamine transporter
Учёные записки Санкт-Петербургского государственного медицинского университета им. Акад. И.П. Павлова, 2022 Introduction. Changes in the expression of the dopamine transporter (DAT) have been identified in patients with a number of neuropsychiatric disorders, but their significance for pathogenesis remains unclear.

On the assumptions that we make about the world around us : a conceptual framework for feature transformation effects [PDF]
, 2019 Various phenomena such as halo effects, spontaneous trait inferences, and evaluative conditioning have in common that assumptions about object features (e.g., whether a person is intelligent or likeable) are influenced by other object features (e.g ...

Self-modulation of rectus femoris reflex excitability in humans
Scientific Reports, 2023 Hyperreflexia is common after neurological injury such as stroke, yet clinical interventions have had mixed success. Our previous research has shown that hyperreflexia of the rectus femoris (RF) during pre-swing is closely associated with reduced swing ...

Acute drug effects on habitual and non-habitual responding in crossed high alcohol preferring mice [PDF]
, 2018 RATIONALE: Drug reward plays a central role in acquiring drug-seeking behavior. However, subjects may continue using drugs despite negative consequences because self-administration becomes habitual, and divorced from outcome values. Although a history
