Dopamine modulation of learning and memory in the prefrontal cortex: insights from studies in primates, rodents, and birds
In this review, we provide a brief overview over the current knowledge about the role of
dopamine transmission in the prefrontal cortex during learning and memory. We discuss …

[HTML][HTML] The coupling effect between the environment and strategies drives the emergence of group cooperation
The emergence of cooperation is a central issue in understanding collective behavior and
evolution. The eco-evolutionary game model introduces a human–environment coupling …

The modulation of operant variation by the probability, magnitude, and delay of reinforcement
WD Stahlman, AP Blaisdell - Learning and Motivation, 2011 - Elsevier
Recent studies have demonstrated that the expectation of reward delivery has an inverse
relationship with operant behavioral variation (eg, Stahlman, Roberts, & Blaisdell, 2010) …

Striatal dopamine D1 receptors are involved in the dissociation of learning based on reward-magnitude
Here we investigate the contribution of striatal dopamine receptors (D1) to the influence of
reward-magnitude on learning. Pigeons (Columba livia) were trained on a discrimination …

Timing and expectation of reward: a neuro-computational model of the afferents to the ventral tegmental area
Neural activity in dopaminergic areas such as the ventral tegmental area is influenced by
timing processes, in particular by the temporal expectation of rewards during Pavlovian …

The role of dopamine in maintenance and distractability of attention in the “prefrontal cortex” of pigeons
Selective attention is a crucial component of all sensory processing. Here we test the role of
dopamine in attentional selection and in the maintenance of attention. Pigeons were trained …

Monetary reward modulates task-irrelevant perceptual learning for invisible stimuli
D Pascucci, T Mastropasqua, M Turatto - PLoS One, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Task Irrelevant Perceptual Learning (TIPL) shows that the brain's discriminative capacity can
improve also for invisible and unattended visual stimuli. It has been hypothesized that this …
