Journal ArticleDOI
Associative processes in addiction and reward. The role of amygdala-ventral striatal subsystems
Barry J. Everitt,John A. Parkinson,Mary C. Olmstead,Mercedes Arroyo,Patricia Robledo,Trevor W. Robbins +5 more
TL;DR: Understanding of the special role of the ventral striatum is enriched in coordinating the contribution of different functional subsystems to confer flexibility, as well as coherence and vigor, to goal‐directed behavior, through different forms of associative learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for executive dysfunction in autism.
TL;DR: Evidence for executive dysfunction in autism is discussed in the context of Norman and Shallice's (Centre for Human Information Processing Technical Report 99, 1980) "Supervisory Attentional System" model of frontal function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different types of fear-conditioned behaviour mediated by separate nuclei within amygdala
TL;DR: This work shows that distinct neural systems involving separate amygdaloid nuclei mediate different types of conditioned fear behaviour, and suggests that theories of amygdala function should take into account the roles of discrete amygdala subsystems in controlling different components of integrated emotional responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cognitive ability of an incident cohort of Parkinson's patients in the UK. The CamPaIGN study
TL;DR: The pattern of cognitive deficits seen among patients using the Mini-Mental State Examination, a pattern recognition task, and the Tower of London task suggests that sub-groups of patients based on cognitive ability might be identifiable even in the early stages of disease, which may reflect regional differences in the underlying neuropathological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting mechanisms of impaired attentional set-shifting in patients with frontal lobe damage or Parkinson's disease
Adrian M. Owen,Angela C. Roberts,John R. Hodges,B. A. Summers,Charles E. Polkey,Trevor W. Robbins +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the gross set-shifting deficits reported in both frontal lobe patients and patients with Parkinson's disease may involve fundamentally different, though related, cognitive processes, and that these may be differentially affected by medication.
