Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of excitotoxic lesions of the substantia innominata, ventral and dorsal globus pallidus on visual discrimination acquisition, performance and reversal in the rat.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ibotenic acid lesions of the substantia innominata or to the dorsal globus pallidus affect learning and performance of conditional visual discrimination performance and impair reversal learning without affecting the capacity to discriminate visual events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cocaine dependence: a fast-track for brain ageing?

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of age on gray matter volume in 120 individuals aged 18-50 years were compared with healthy volunteers and 60 cocaine-dependent individuals, and the two groups were matched for age (t118=−0.12, p=0.905), gender (χ2=2.8, P= 0.148), and verbal IQ (t115=− 0.36, P = 0.031).
Journal ArticleDOI

The dopamine D2 receptor antagonist sulpiride modulates striatal BOLD signal during the manipulation of information in working memory.

TL;DR: These results support models of dopamine function that posit a ‘gating’ function for dopamine D2 receptors in the striatum, which enables the flexible updating and manipulation of information in working memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homology in behavioural pharmacology: an approach to animal models of human cognition.

TL;DR: It is suggested that known correspondences across species in brain structure and development which may mediate homologous behavioural functions are capitalize on, and Manipulation of specific receptors in defined areas may be achieved by local and systemic administration of drugs with relatively specific actions.
