Rats prone to attribute incentive salience to reward cues are also prone to impulsive action.
Animals vary considerably in the degree to which they attribute incentive salience to cues predictive of reward. When a discrete cue (conditional stimulus) is repeatedly paired with delivery of a food reward (unconditional stimulus) only some rats ("sign-trackers"; STs) come to find the cue itself an attractive and desirable incentive stimulus. For other rats ("goal-trackers"; GTs) the cue is a...
متن کاملCholinergic control over attention in rats prone to attribute incentive salience to reward cues.
Some rats [sign-trackers (STs)] are especially prone to attribute incentive salience to reward cues, relative to others [goal-trackers (GTs)]. Thus, reward cues are more likely to promote maladaptive reward-seeking behavior in STs than GTs. Here, we asked whether STs and GTs differ on another trait that can contribute to poor restraint over behavior evoked by reward cues. We report that, relati...
متن کاملQuantifying Individual Variation in the Propensity to Attribute Incentive Salience to Reward Cues
If reward-associated cues acquire the properties of incentive stimuli they can come to powerfully control behavior, and potentially promote maladaptive behavior. Pavlovian incentive stimuli are defined as stimuli that have three fundamental properties: they are attractive, they are themselves desired, and they can spur instrumental actions. We have found, however, that there is considerable ind...
متن کاملCue-induced reinstatement of food seeking in rats that differ in their propensity to attribute incentive salience to food cues.
Cues associated with food availability and consumption can evoke desire for food, sometimes leading to excessive intake. We have found, however, that food cues acquire incentive motivational properties (the ability to attract and to serve as conditional reinforcers) in some individuals (sign-trackers), but not others (goal-trackers). We asked, therefore, whether rats that are attracted (attribu...
متن کاملThe habenula governs the attribution of incentive salience to reward predictive cues
The attribution of incentive salience to reward associated cues is critical for motivation and the pursuit of rewards. Disruptions in the integrity of the neural systems controlling these processes can lead to avolition and anhedonia, symptoms that cross the diagnostic boundaries of many neuropsychiatric illnesses. Here, we consider whether the habenula (Hb), a region recently demonstrated to e...
