The behavioral pharmacology of effort‐related choice behavior: dopamine, adenosine and beyond
For many years, it has been suggested that drugs that interfere with dopamine (DA)
transmission alter the “rewarding” impact of primary reinforcers such as food. Research and …

The pharmacology of effort-related choice behavior: Dopamine, depression, and individual differences
This review paper is focused upon the involvement of mesolimbic dopamine (DA) and
related brain systems in effort-based processes. Interference with DA transmission affects …
