Selective attention and inhibitory deficits in ADHD: does subtype or comorbidity modulate negative priming effects?

Aug 2008 Selective attention has durable consequences for behavior and neural activation. Negative priming (NP) effects are assumed to reflect a critical inhibitory component of selective attention. The performance of... Read more...

Nicotine withdrawal disrupts both foreground and background contextual fear conditioning but not pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response in C57BL/6 mice.

19 Jul 2008 Nicotine withdrawal is associated with multiple symptoms such as anxiety, increased appetite, and disrupted cognition in humans. Although animal models have provided insights into the somatic and affective symptoms of... Read more...

Neuronal ensemble bursting in the basal forebrain encodes salience irrespective of valence.

10 Jul 2008 Both reward- and punishment-related stimuli are motivationally salient and attract the attention of animals. However, it remains unclear how motivational salience is processed in the brain. Here, we show that both... Read more...
