Assessing equine prospective memory in a Y-maze apparatus.
21 Apr 2009 Eight horses were tested in a Y-maze to see if they would approach the side on which they had seen and heard food being delivered into a food trough. The horses were tested in five experimental contexts: immediate release (IR), delayed release 3s ...

Context-dependent representation of reinforcement in monkey amygdala.
20 Apr 2009 It has been reported that neurons in the amygdala respond to visual cues that predict reward and aversive outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether the representation of reinforcement in the amygdala depends on the relative preference for an ...

Effect of a brief, regular telephone intervention by paraprofessionals for type 2 diabetes.

18-Methoxycoronaridine blocks acquisition but enhances reinstatement of a cocaine place preference.
9 Apr 2009 The iboga alkaloid congener, 18-methoxycoronaridine (18-MC), decreases self-administration of multiple drugs of abuse. Here, in a biased procedure, we investigated whether 18-MC would have a similar effect on the acquisition, expression and ...
