Journal ArticleDOI

The hippocampal-striatal axis in learning, prediction and goal-directed behavior

TL;DR: Dorsal and ventral striatum are proposed to compute outcome predictions largely in parallel, using different types of information as input, and the specificity of predictions transcends the level of scalar value signals, incorporating episodic information.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct Changes in Cortical Acetylcholine and Noradrenaline Efflux during Contingent and Noncontingent Performance of a Visual Attentional Task

TL;DR: Data from this investigation dissociates functions of cortical acetylcholine and noradrenaline in arousal and visual attention by simultaneously measuring ACh and NA efflux in the rat prefrontal cortex during sustained attentional performance and implicate cortical ACh in aspects of attentional functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obsessive-compulsive disorder: Puzzles and prospects

TL;DR: The prospects for new animal models and an integrated understanding of the pathophysiology of OCD are considered in the context of dimensional psychiatry and hypotheses concerning an imbalance between goal-directed and habitual behavior are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Goal-directed learning and obsessive–compulsive disorder

TL;DR: It is proposed that the irrational threat beliefs (obsessions) characteristic of OCD may be a consequence, rather than an instigator, of compulsive behaviour in these patients, laying the foundation for a potential shift in both clinical and neuropsychological conceptualization of OCD and related disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine-Dependent Frontostriatal Planning Deficits in Early Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that, like other tests of frontal lobe dysfunction, planning and spatial working memory are vulnerable in nonmedicated patients with mild Parkinson's disease and suggest that certain aspects of the planning impairment in these patients may be ameliorated by dopaminergic therapy.
