Conditioned inhibition of emotional responses: retardation and summation with cues for IAPS outcomes (2015)
Journal Article
Thurston, M. D., & Cassaday, H. J. (2015). Conditioned inhibition of emotional responses: retardation and summation with cues for IAPS outcomes. Learning and Motivation, 52, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lmot.2015.10.002

Conditioned inhibition occurs when a stimulus inhibits the responses that would normally occur to a conditioned stimulus that previously predicted an outcome of interest (the unconditioned stimulus, which elicits responding unconditionally). The pres... Read More about Conditioned inhibition of emotional responses: retardation and summation with cues for IAPS outcomes.

Effects of dopamine D1 modulation of the anterior cingulate cortex in a fear conditioning procedure (2015)
Journal Article
Pezze, M. A., Marshall, H., Domonkos, A., & Cassaday, H. J. (2015). Effects of dopamine D1 modulation of the anterior cingulate cortex in a fear conditioning procedure. Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 65, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pnpbp.2015.08.015

The anterior cingulate cortex (AC) component of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been implicated in attention and working memory as measured by trace conditioning. Since dopamine (DA) is a key modulator of mPFC function, the present study eval...

Dopamine D1 receptor stimulation modulates the formation and retrieval of novel object recognition memory: role of the prelimbic cortex. (2015)
Journal Article
Cassaday, H., Pezze, M., Marshall, H., & Fone, K. (2015). Dopamine D1 receptor stimulation modulates the formation and retrieval of novel object recognition memory: role of the prelimbic cortex. European Neuropsychopharmacology, 25(11), 2145-2156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euroneuro.2015.07.018

© 2015 The Authors. Previous studies have shown that dopamine D1 receptor antagonists impair novel object recognition memory but the effects of dopamine D1 receptor stimulation remain to be determined. This study investigated the effects of the selec...

Quantitative analysis of performance on a progressive-ratio schedule: effects of reinforcer type, food deprivation and acute treatment with ??-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (2015)
Journal Article
Olarte-Sánchez, C., Valencia-Torres, L., Cassaday, H. J., Bradshaw, C., & Szabadi, E. (2015). Quantitative analysis of performance on a progressive-ratio schedule: effects of reinforcer type, food deprivation and acute treatment with Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Behavioural Processes, 113, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2015.01.014

Rats’ performance on a progressive-ratio schedule maintained by sucrose (0.6 M, 50 μl) and corn oil (100%, 25 μl) reinforcers was assessed using a model derived from Killeen’s (1994) theory of scheduled-controlled behaviour, ‘Mathematical Principles...

Dopaminergic modulation of appetitive trace conditioning: the role of D1 receptors in medial prefrontal cortex (2015)
Journal Article
Pezze, M. A., Marshall, H., & Cassaday, H. (in press). Dopaminergic modulation of appetitive trace conditioning: the role of D1 receptors in medial prefrontal cortex. Psychopharmacology, 232(15), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-015-3903-4

Rationale: Trace conditioning may provide a behavioural model suitable to examine the maintenance of ‘on line’ information and its underlying neural substrates. Objectives: Experiment la was run to establish trace conditioning in a shortened proced...

Gray’s revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory in relation to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity and Tourette-like behaviors in the general population (2015)
Journal Article
Heym, N., Kantini, E., Checkley, H. L., & Cassaday, H. J. (2015). Gray’s revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory in relation to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity and Tourette-like behaviors in the general population. Personality and Individual Differences, 78, 24-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2015.01.012

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS) present as distinct conditions clinically; however, they show comorbidity and inhibitory control deficits have been proposed to underlie both. The role of reinforcement sensit...

Intraperitoneal sertraline and fluvoxamine increase contextual fear conditioning but are without effect on overshadowing between cues (2015)
Journal Article
Cassaday, H. J., & Thur, K. E. (2015). Intraperitoneal sertraline and fluvoxamine increase contextual fear conditioning but are without effect on overshadowing between cues. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 129, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbb.2014.12.004

Treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can reduce contextual conditioning. Since contexts present a variety of potentially competing cues, impaired overshadowing may provide an account of such effects. The present study theref...
