Stimulus-reward coupling without attention can induce highly specific perceptual learning
effects, suggesting that reward triggers selective plasticity within visual cortex. Additionally …

INTRODUCTION The drive to seek and experience reward is conserved across species and,
in mammals, involves interactions between subcortical dopaminergic systems and limbic …

Reward can influence visual performance, but the neural basis of this effect remains poorly
understood. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how …

Long-term potentiation in the hippocampus can be enhanced and prolonged by
dopaminergic inputs from midbrain structures such as the substantia nigra. This improved …

What role does reward play in real-world human vision? Reward coding in the midbrain is
thought to cause the rapid prioritization of reward-associated visual stimuli. However …

We investigated how the brain integrates motivational and attentional signals by using a
neuroimaging paradigm that provided separate estimates for transient cue-and target …

Dopamine release in cortical and subcortical structures plays a central role in reward-related
neural processes. Within this context, dopaminergic inputs are commonly assumed to play …

Studies of selective attention typically consider the role of task goals or physical salience,
but attention can also be captured by previously reward-associated stimuli, even if they are …

The mesolimbic dopaminergic system has long been known to be involved in the processing
of rewarding stimuli, although recent evidence from animal research has suggested a more …

We examined anticipatory mechanisms of reward-motivated memory formation using event-
related FMRI. In a monetary incentive encoding task, cues signaled high-or low-value …
