Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociable roles of the central and basolateral amygdala in appetitive emotional learning.

TL;DR: Results not only support the hypothesis that the amygdala is critical for appetitive as well as aversive learning, but are also consistent with amygdala subsystems subserving distinct aspects of emotional learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modafinil improves cognition and response inhibition in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: Modafinil may have potential as an important therapy for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with a similar effect to stimulants such as methylphenidate in improving stop-signal response inhibition but without the side effects commonly experienced with amphetamine-like drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of orbitofrontal, infralimbic and prelimbic cortical lesions on serial spatial reversal learning in the rat

TL;DR: The results indicate that the orbitofrontal cortex is critical for flexible responding in serial spatial reversal learning, and may be relevant to deficits in reversal learning and response inhibition in such neuropsychiatric disorders as obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Effects of 6-OHDA Lesions of the Frontal Cortex and Caudate Nucleus on the Ability to Acquire an Attentional Set

TL;DR: Analysis of set-shifting performance with stimulus dimensions of varying salience suggested that frontal catecholamine depletion selectively disrupts "top-down", but not "bottom-up" attentional processing, but the ability to acquire and shift an attentional set remained intact following dopaminergic depletion from the caudate nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin modulates sensitivity to reward and negative feedback in a probabilistic reversal learning task in rats.

TL;DR: Results show that boosting 5-HT neurotransmission decreases negative feedback sensitivity and increases reward (positive feedback) sensitivity, whereas reducing it has the opposite effect, however, these effects depend on the nature of the manipulation used.
