In order to thrive, animals must be able to recognize aversive and appetitive stimuli within
the environment and subsequently initiate appropriate behavioral responses. This …

Adolescence is an evolutionarily conserved developmental period, with neural circuits and
behaviors contributing to the detection, procurement, and receipt of rewards bearing …

Dopamine is thought to regulate learning from appetitive and aversive events. Here we
examined how optogenetically-identified dopamine neurons in the lateral ventral tegmental …

Dopamine (DA) is critical for reward processing, but significantly less is known about its role
in punishment avoidance. Using a combined approach-avoidance task, we measured …

Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission, particularly the ventral tegmental area-nucleus
accumbens (VTA-NAcc) projection, underlies reward and aversion processing, and deficient …

Studying aversive behaviour is critical for understanding negative emotions and associated
psychopathologies. However a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms underlying …

Hypnotizability is associated with attentional characteristics whose neurophysiological
bases are still under debate. Aim of the study was the assessment of possible hypnotizability …

The nineteenth century case of Phineas Gage provides a famous example of brain injury
and resultant changes in behavior and personality. 1 Mr Gage was reportedly a mild …

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is thought to integrate information that is conveyed by (1)
dopaminergic inputs from the midbrain and (2) glutamatergic inputs from limbic and cortical …

В поисках нейронных коррелятов негативного подкрепления регистрировали
активность нейронов в “центре подкрепления”–вентральной тегментальной области …
