Neural correlates of hyperalgesia in the monosodium iodoacetate model of osteoarthritis pain (2016)
Journal Article
Abaei, M., Sagar, D. R., Stockley, E. G., Spicer, C. H., Prior, M., Chapman, V., & Auer, D. P. (in press). Neural correlates of hyperalgesia in the monosodium iodoacetate model of osteoarthritis pain. Molecular Pain, 12, https://doi.org/10.1177/1744806916642445

Background: The mechanisms driving osteoarthritic pain remain poorly understood, but there is increasing evidence for a role of the central nervous system in the chronification of pain.We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the...

© 2015 Society for the Study of Addiction The psychoactive effects of mephedrone are commonly compared with those of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, but because of a shorter duration of action, users often employ repeated administration to mainta...

Reduced dopamine function within the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens enhances latent inhibition (2011)
Journal Article
Nelson, A. J., Thur, K. E., Horsley, R., Spicer, C., Marsden, C., & Cassaday, H. J. (2011). Reduced dopamine function within the medial shell of the nucleus accumbens enhances latent inhibition. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 98(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbb.2010.11.025

Latent inhibition (LI) manifests as poorer conditioning to a CS that has previously been presented without consequence. There is some evidence that LI can be potentiated by reduced mesoaccumbal dopamine (DA) function but the locus within the nucleus...
