The Role of Glutamate in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex in the Acquistion and Expression of Conditioned Approach
… using a Pavlovian conditioning paradigm, the conditioned-approach paradigm. Rats with surgically implanted cannulas were exposed to Pavlovian conditioning sessions that occurred on three alternative days (acquisition) or seven consecutive days (expression). These 60-min conditioning sessions …

A Dual Investigation of Questions in Drug Addiction: Exploring the Role of Neuroinflammation in Opioid Withdrawal and A Novel Measure of Reward-Seeking Behavior in Rodents
… task based on the classic measure of reward, conditioned place preference. In the modified test, objects rather than contexts were used as a conditioned cue, which potentially allows for greater flexibility and opens up new ways of analyzing conditioned approach, a commonly used measure for …

Neuropsychology of reinforcement processes in the rat
… in the control of rats’ behaviour by Pavlovian conditioned stimuli, and in their capacity to choose delayed reinforcement. First, the function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in simple Pavlovian conditioning tasks was addressed. The ACC is a subdivision of prefrontal cortex that has …

Neuropharmacological Mechanisms Underlying Incentive Salience and Stress
… accumbens (NAc) DA transmission in mediating conditioned approach behavior for food reward, and established that stress exposure blunts NAc DA response to palatable food and reduces incentive salience for the reward, as defined by increased latency to approach. Pretreatment with the mixed …

Investigating Maladaptive Habit Formation and Threat Influences in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
… The disparity in the procedural and theoretical approaches in human PIT studies results in challenges in comparing findings across studies and has implications for the translational relevance of PIT between species. Rodent PIT studies reveal insights into the acquisition and consolidation of …

Hybrid methodology for Markovian epidemic models
… we introduce a hybrid discrete-continuous approach suitable for analysing a wide range of epidemiological models, and an approach for improving parameter estimation from data describing the early stages of an outbreak. We restrict our attention to epidemiological models with continuous-time …
