Learning substrates in the primate prefrontal cortex and striatum: sustained activity related to successful actions.

28 Jul 2009 Learning from experience requires knowing whether a past action resulted in a desired outcome. The prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia are thought to play key roles in such learning of arbitrary stimulus-response associations. Previous studies have ... Read more...

Lasting reduction of cocaine action in neostriatum--a hydrolase gene therapy approach.

26 May 2009 We previously found that a quadruple mutant cocaine hydrolase derived from human butyrylcholinesterase [termed cocaine esterase (CocE)] can suppress or reverse cocaine toxicity and abolish drug-primed reinstatement in rats. Here, we examined whether ... Read more...

Coherent gamma oscillations couple the amygdala and striatum during learning.

8 May 2009 The basolateral amygdala (BLA) mediates the facilitating effects of emotions on memory. The BLA's enhancing influence extends to various types of memories, including striatal-dependent habit formation. To shed light on the underlying mechanisms, we ... Read more...
