Importance of unpredictability for reward responses in primate dopamine neurons
1. We used single neuron recording techniques in two behaving monkeys to investigate the conditions in which dopamine neurons respond to primary rewarding or potentially rewardi...
Responses of monkey dopamine neurons to reward and conditioned stimuli during successive steps of learning a delayed response task
The present investigation had two aims: (1) to study responses of dopamine neurons to stimuli with attentional and motivational significance during several steps of learning a b...
Responses of midbrain dopamine neurons to behavioral trigger stimuli in the monkey
Destruction of the midbrain dopamine (DA) system in Parkinsonian man and experimental animals leads to deficits in initiation of behavior, motor performance, and cognitive mecha...
The spino(trigemino)pontoamygdaloid pathway: electrophysiological evidence for an involvement in pain processes
1. Neurons were recorded in the parabrachial (PB) area, located in the dorsolateral region of the pons (with the use of extracellular micropipette), in the anesthetized rat. Par...
AN INTEGRATIVE THEORY OF LOCUS COERULEUS-NOREPINEPHRINE FUNCTION: Adaptive Gain and Optimal Performance
Historically, the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system has been implicated in arousal, but recent findings suggest that this system plays a more complex and specific ro...
