Journal ArticleDOI

Second-order schedules of drug reinforcement in rats and monkeys: measurement of reinforcing efficacy and drug-seeking behaviour.

TL;DR: It is argued that the first, drug-free interval of responding under a second-order schedule of reinforcement has particular utility in that it provides a measure of drug-seeking behaviour and reinforcing efficacy that are not affected by the pharmacological effects of recently administered drug.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redefining the functional organization of working memory processes within human lateral prefrontal cortex.

TL;DR: PET dissociation provides unambiguous evidence that the mid‐dorsolateral and mid‐ventrolateral frontal cortical areas make distinct functional contributions to spatial working memory and corresponds with a fractionation of working memory processes in psychological terms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tryptophan depletion impairs stimulus-reward learning while methylphenidate disrupts attentional control in healthy young adults: implications for the monoaminergic basis of impulsive behaviour.

TL;DR: Reduction in central serotonin leads to altered neuromodulation of the cortical and subcortical regions (e.g. orbitofrontal cortex, striatum and anterior temporal structures) that mediate important aspects of associative learning whereby exteroceptive stimuli acquire altered incentive motivational value.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triple dissociation of anterior cingulate, posterior cingulate, and medial frontal cortices on visual discrimination tasks using a touchscreen testing procedure for the rat.

TL;DR: Roles for the anterior cingulate, posterior cingulates, and medial frontal cortex in stimulus-reward learning, stimulus-response learning or response generation, and attention during learning, respectively are suggested.
