Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced behavioural control by conditioned reinforcers following microinjections of d-amphetamine into the nucleus accumbens.
Jane R. Taylor,Trevor W. Robbins +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the nucleus accumbens may play an important role in ind-amphetamine's enhanced control over behaviour exerted by conditioned reinforcers.
Journal ArticleDOI
AMPA-induced excitotoxic lesions of the basal forebrain: a significant role for the cortical cholinergic system in attentional function
TL;DR: Results suggest that the most consistent deficit produced following lesions of the BF-cortical cholinergic system is attentional dysfunction, similar to deficits in visual attention seen in patients with Alzheimer's disease, which can be improved by anti- cholinesterase treatment.
MonographDOI
The prefrontal cortex: Executive and cognitive functions.
TL;DR: Roberts, theories and models of executive function based on neuropsychological studies in humans, a computational approach to prefrontal cortex, cognitive control and schizophrenia - recent developments and current challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profiles of cognitive dysfunction in chronic amphetamine and heroin abusers.
T. J. Ornstein,Joanna L. Iddon,Alex Baldacchino,Barbara J. Sahakian,M. London,Barry J. Everitt,Trevor W. Robbins +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that chronic drug use may lead to distinct patterns of cognitive impairment that may be associated with dysfunction of different components of cortico-striatal circuitry.
Journal ArticleDOI
6-Hydroxydopamine lesions of the prefrontal cortex in monkeys enhance performance on an analog of the Wisconsin Card Sort Test: possible interactions with subcortical dopamine.
Angela C. Roberts,M. A. de Salvia,Lawrence Stephen Wilkinson,P. Collins,Janice L. Muir,Barry J. Everitt,Trevor W. Robbins +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that attentional set shifting is mediated by a balanced interaction between prefrontal and striatal dopamine, and that elevated dopamine contributes to the improvement in Attentional set-shifting ability.
