This article reviews the behavioral neuroscience of extinction, the phenomenon in which a
behavior that has been acquired through Pavlovian or instrumental (operant) learning …

Here, we review the neural circuit bases of habits, compulsions, and addictions, behaviors
which are all characterized by relatively automatic action performance. We discuss relevant …

Abstract MCGREGOR, MS, and RT LaLumiere. Still a “hidden island”? The rodent insular
cortex in drug seeking, reward, and risk. NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 21 (1) XXX-XXX …

Emerging evidence implicates rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in tasks requiring
adaptation of behavior to changing information from external and internal sources. However …

The rodent infralimbic cortex (IL) is implicated in higher order executive functions such as
reward seeking and flexible decision making. However, the precise nature of its role in these …

Craving for cocaine progressively increases in cocaine users during drug-free periods,
contributing to relapse. The projection from the infralimbic cortex to the nucleus accumbens …

Rodent dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), typically prelimbic cortex, is often described
as promoting actions such as reward seeking, whereas ventral mPFC, typically infralimbic …

The incubation phenomenon, cue-induced drug craving progressively increasing over
prolonged withdrawal, accounts for persistent relapse, leading to a dilemma in the treatment …

Prior evidence indicates that the infralimbic cortex (IL) mediates the ongoing inhibition of
cocaine seeking following self-administration and extinction training in rats, specifically …

Hedonic processing plays an integral role in directing appropriate behavior, but disrupted
hedonic processing is associated with psychiatric disorders such as depression. The …
