Limbic-striatal interactions in reward-related processes

Abstract

Stimuli with formerly motivationally neutral properties gain incentive properties from their predictive association with primary reinforcement, and are termed conditioned reinforcers. Infusions of the indirect dopamine (DA) agonist d-amphetamine into the ventral striatum selectively enhanced responding for a light that was positively correlated with water. These selective stimulatory effects were blocked by 6-OHDA lesions of the ventral, but not dorsal striatum, and resembled those produced by DA itself when infused into the ventral striatum. However, the choice of the lever producing the conditioned reinforcer was not affected by ventral striatal DA depletion. This choice was, however, attenuated by excitotoxic lesions of the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, suggesting an interaction between this structure and DA-dependent processes of the ventral striatum in the processes by which reward-related stimuli come to affect action. Parallel findings were obtained using a second order schedule of sexual reinforcement. Other observations indicated that the amygdala lesion did not impair the discriminative property of the reward-related stimuli, or affect primary motivation. Experiments using explicit conditional visuo-spatial discrimination tasks suggest that similar discriminative properties are preserved following DA depletion from the ventral, but not the dorsal, striatum. These results possibly represent a dissociation between stimulus-response (or habit) and stimulus-reward associative mechanisms, modulated respectively by the dorsal and ventral striatum.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Novel rewarding stimuli engage ventral striatum, but with repeated exposure, reward-associated cues trigger DA increases in dorsal striatum.

    “whereas inherently rewarding novel stimuli engage ventral regions of the striatum (NAc), with repeated exposure, the cues associated with the reward then trigger DA increases in dorsal regions of the striatum (50).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
