Neuropharmacological Mechanisms Underlying Incentive Salience and Stress
… processes associated with the attribution of incentive salience to salient stimuli. Using in vivo microdialysis, we assessed the role of nucleus accumbens (NAc) DA transmission in mediating conditioned approach behavior for food reward, and established that stress exposure blunts NAc DA …

A SINGLE GUSTATORY RECEPTOR CAN SWITCH THE INCENTIVE SALIENCE OF A SPECIFIC REWARD
Animal behavior is shaped by both evolution and individual experience. The selection of an appropriate response to an external stimulus represents a fundamental brain function. Reward influences both immediate and long-term animal behavior. Although much work has been done on understanding the …

How Learning and Motivational Shifts Determine the Incentive Salience of Reward Cues: a Human Behavioral Perspective
Reward cues acquire distinctive incentive properties from their association with motivationally significant outcomes. These incentive properties are manifest in an augmented salience that provides reward cues with the capacity to attract attention, also in contexts where pursuing the reward is not …

Buffering the Associations Between Negative Mood States and the Incentive Salience of Alcohol: A Brief Mindfulness Induction
… mood states (i.e., sadness and anxiety) and the incentive salience of alcohol (i.e., subjective alcohol craving and attentional bias for alcohol-related cues) among college student drinkers. Participants were 207 undergraduate students from a large, southeastern university in the United States …

Individual Differences In Lpp Amplitude and Theta Power Predict Cue-Induced Eating During A Cued Food Delivery Task
… that individuals who attribute higher levels of incentive salience to reward-associated cues than to pleasant images (termed “C>P group” throughout) are more vulnerable to compulsive eating than those who attribute higher incentive salience to pleasant images than reward- associated cues (P>C …

INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF α6 and α4 CONTAINING NEURONAL NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS IN NICOTINE AND COCAINE CONDITIONED PLACE PREFERENCE TESTS IN MICE.
… midbrain, which is known to be critical for the incentive salience associated with natural and artificial (drug) reward. Our goal was to assess the role of α6β2* and α4β2* nAChRs in nicotine and cocaine reward using an unbiased conditioned place preference (CPP) test in mice. Adult male C57BL/6J …

Brain substrates of behavioural endophenotypes predictive of compulsive drug-seeking
… risk endophenotypes was assessed. Attribution of incentive salience was unrelated to impulsivity yet was positively associated with novelty place preference and locomotor reactivity. ‘Stickiness’ – the tendency to repeat the same choice regardless of reward outcome – on a reversal learning …

The Neurocognitive Dynamics Underlying Loss of Control in Alcohol Misuse and Addiction
… 2002)- culminating in observable impairments in incentive salience, negative emotionality, and executive function domains (Kwako et al., 2016; Voon et al., 2020). Critically, these neurocognitive deficits extend beyond alcohol addiction, indicating a shared pathophysiological basis integral to a …
