Journal ArticleDOI
Précis of The Neuropsychology of Anxiety: An Enquiry into the Functions of the Septo-Hippocampal System..
TL;DR: It is proposed that these drugs reduce anxiety by impairing the functioning of a widespread neural system including the septo-hippocampal system (SHS), the Papez circuit, the prefrontal cortex, and ascending monoaminergic and cholinergic pathways which innervate these forebrain structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for Pavlovian learning: Variations in the effectiveness of conditioned but not of unconditioned stimuli.
John M. Pearce,Geoffrey Hall +1 more
TL;DR: A new model is proposed that deals with the explanation of cases in which learning does not occur in spite of the fact that the conditioned stimulus is a signal for the reinforcer by specifying that certain procedures cause a conditioned stimulus to lose effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fears, phobias and preparedness: Toward an evolved module of fear and fear learning
Arne Öhman,Susan Mineka +1 more
TL;DR: The fear module is assumed to mediate an emotional level of fear learning that is relatively independent and dissociable from cognitive learning of stimulus relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Localization Does Not Require the Presence of Local Cues
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rats can rapidly learn to locate an object that they can never see, hear, or smell provided it remains in a fixed spatial location relative to distal room cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotion and motivation: the role of the amygdala, ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: The basolateral amygdala (BLA) appears to be required for a Pavlovian conditioned stimulus to gain access to the current value of the specific unconditioned stimulus (US) that it predicts, while the central nucleus of the amygdala acts as a controller of brainstem arousal and response systems, and subserves some forms of stimulus-response Pavlovia conditioning.
