Journal ArticleDOI
Excitotoxic lesions of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons: effects on learning, memory and attention.
TL;DR: Analysis suggests that many of the learning and memory impairments traditionally attributed to the cholinergic corticopetal system are due not to destruction of cholinergic neurons in the nbM, but instead result from the disruption of cortico-striatal outputs passing through the dorsal and ventral globus pallidus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of selective excitotoxic lesions of the nucleus accumbens core, anterior cingulate cortex, and central nucleus of the amygdala on autoshaping performance in rats.
Rudolf N. Cardinal,John A. Parkinson,Guillaume Lachenal,Katherine M. Halkerston,Nung Rudarakanchana,Jeremy Hall,Caroline H. Morrison,Simon R. Howes,Trevor W. Robbins,Barry J. Everitt +9 more
TL;DR: Rats were trained preoperatively on a Pavlovian autoshaping task in which pairing a visual conditioned stimulus with food causes subjects to approach the CS+ while not approaching an unpaired stimulus, implying that the CeA makes a specific contribution to the learning of stimulus-reward associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired set-shifting and dissociable effects on tests of spatial working memory following the dopamine D2 receptor antagonist sulpiride in human volunteers
TL;DR: These results support models of central DA function that postulate a role in switching behaviour, and in certain aspects of working memory, in young healthy male volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Executive function in Tourette's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Laura H. A. Watkins,Barbara J. Sahakian,Mary M. Robertson,David Veale,Robert D. Rogers,Kathryn M Pickard,Michael R. F. Aitken,Trevor W. Robbins +7 more
TL;DR: Specific set-shifting deficits in the OCD group contrasted with their intact performance on other tests of executive function, such as planning and decision-making, and suggested only limited involvement of frontal lobe dysfunction, possibly consistent with OCD symptomatology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neuropsychological comparison of obsessive-compulsive disorder and trichotillomania.
Samuel R. Chamberlain,Naomi A. Fineberg,Naomi A. Fineberg,Naomi A. Fineberg,Andrew D. Blackwell,Andrew D. Blackwell,Luke Clark,Trevor W. Robbins,Barbara J. Sahakian +8 more
TL;DR: Compared neurocognitive functioning in co-morbidity-free patients with OCD and trichotillomania, focusing on domains of learning and memory, executive function, affective processing, reflection-impulsivity and decision-making, showed similarities to likely fronto-striatal neural substrates and future research directions.
