Behavioral inhibition, behavioral activation, and affective responses to impending reward and punishment: The BIS/BAS Scales

TL;DR: In this paper, self-report scales to assess dispositional BIS and behavioral activation system (BAS) sensitivities were created, and a situation in which Ss anticipated a punishment was created.

The adolescent brain and age-related behavioral manifestations

TL;DR: Developmental changes in prefrontal cortex and limbic brain regions of adolescents across a variety of species, alterations that include an apparent shift in the balance between mesocortical and mesolimbic dopamine systems likely contribute to the unique characteristics of adolescence.

Enduring changes in brain and behavior produced by chronic amphetamine administration: A review and evaluation of animal models of amphetamine psychosis

TL;DR: There is not convincing evidence for an increase in postsynaptic DA receptors or in DA synthesis in animals sensitized to AMPH, but there is strong evidence to support the notion that behavioral sensitization is due to enhanced mesotelencephalic DA release, especially upon re-exposure to the drug.

The locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system: modulation of behavioral state and state-dependent cognitive processes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that dysregulation of locus coeruleus-noradrenergic neurotransmission may contribute to cognitive and/or arousal dysfunction associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, sleep and arousal disorders, as well as certain affective Disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder.

Loss of recent memory after bilateral hippocampal lesions.

Developments of a water-maze procedure for studying spatial learning in the rat

TL;DR: Developments of an open-field water-maze procedure in which rats learn to escape from opaque water onto a hidden platform are described, suggesting that they may lend themselves to a variety of behavioural investigations, including pharmacological work and studies of cerebral function.
