Renewal of Pavlovian conditioned inhibition

Temporally Specific Extinction of Pavlovian Conditioned Inhibition

Impaired Pavlovian conditioned inhibition in offenders with personality disorders.

Certain types of violent offending are often accompanied by evidence of personality disorders (PDs), a range of heterogeneous conditions characterized by disinhibited behaviours that are generally described as impulsive. The tasks previously used to show impulsivity deficits experimentally (in borderline personality disorder, BPD) have required participants to inhibit previously rewarded respon...

Interdependence of measures in pavlovian conditioned freezing.

Pavlovian conditioned freezing is an intensively utilized paradigm that has become a standard model of memory and cognition. Despite its widespread use, the interdependence among each measure commonly reported in fear conditioning studies has not been described. Using mice, we examine the relationship of each common freezing measure (Training Baseline, Post-Shock freezing, Contextual Fear, Tone...

Pavlovian Conditioned Approach Training in Rats.

Cues that are contingently paired with unconditioned, rewarding stimuli can acquire rewarding properties themselves through a process known as the attribution of incentive salience, or the transformation of neutral stimuli into attractive, "wanted' stimuli capable of motivating behavior. Pavlovian conditioned approach (PCA) develops after the response-independent presentation of a conditioned s...

Neural dynamic:s of attentionally modulated Pavlovian c()nditioning: Conditioned reinforcement, inhibition, and oppolnent processing

A real-time neural network model is developed to explain data about the acquisition and extinction of conditioned excitors and inhibitors. Systematic computer simulations are described of a READ circuit, which joins toget]~er a mechanism of associative learning with an opponentprocessing circuit, called a recurrent gated dipole. READ circuit properties clarify how positive and negative reinforc...
