The neuropharmacology of what, where, when: how dopamine modulates recognition memory for objects and their contexts (2018)
Book Chapter
Cassaday, H., & Nelson, A. J. (2018). The neuropharmacology of what, where, when: how dopamine modulates recognition memory for objects and their contexts. In A. Ennaceur, & M. A. de Souza Silva (Eds.), Handbook of Object Novelty Recognition, 359-369. Elsevier. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-812012-5.00024-0

Recognition of objects and their contexts is demonstrated based on the intrinsic features of objects (‘what’), as well as for spatial (‘where’) or temporal presentation (‘when’) cues. A network of structures identified in lesion studies forms a neura...

Infusions of scopolamine in dorsal hippocampus reduce anticipatory responding in an appetitive trace conditioning procedure (2018)
Journal Article
Pezze, M., Marshall, H., & Cassaday, H. (2018). Infusions of scopolamine in dorsal hippocampus reduce anticipatory responding in an appetitive trace conditioning procedure. Brain and Behavior, https://doi.org/10.1002/brb3.1147

Trace conditioning is impaired by lesions to dorsal hippocampus, as well as by treatment with the muscarinic acetylcholine antagonist scopolamine. However, the role of muscarinic receptors within hippocampus has received little attention. The present...
