Pharmacological Patterns in Subcortical Reinforcement Behavior.

چکیده
By means of intercurrent hypothalamic positive reinforcement and tegmentat negative reinforcement tests, drug actions on two different brain-stimulated behaviors were assessed simultaneously. Chlorpromazine at 2 mg/kg was effective in antagonizing both hypothalamic positive reinforcement behavior and tegmental negative reinforcement behavior, but it regularly caused a greater percentage deficit in hypothalamic positive behavior. Meprobamate at 100 mg/kg did not regularly produce lasting reduction of hypothalamic positive reinforcement behavior; however, it did produce sustained reduction of tegmental negative reinforcement behavior. In the case of meprobamate, therefore, there was regularly a greater percentage deficit in tegmental negative behavior. While the imbalanced action of chlorpromazine against positive reinforcement may be explained by aspects of the testing procedure (such as the widely different speeds of the two behaviors) and have no relation to the difference in emotional sign, the opposite imbalanced action of meprobamate makes it quite clear that the two chemicals have quite different modes oi' action in relation to these brain and behavior tests. The findings with LSD and amphetamine were less informative; LSD had regularly a brief suppressing effect on hypothalamic behavior; amphetamine augmented the slow tegmental negative behavior but often slowed the rapkt hypothalamic positive behavior.

The strength and ductility of concrete improve under multi-axial compressive stress due to confinement effect. Some parameters are effective for considering the confinement in concrete and various stress-strain models were developed by different researchers. Longitudinal and transverse reinforcement steels can influence on confinement in reinforced concrete members. In this paper, various stres...
متن کاملRole of the Primate Ventral Tegmental Area in Reinforcement and Motivation
Monkey electrophysiology suggests that the activity of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) helps regulate reinforcement learning and motivated behavior, in part by broadcasting prediction error signals throughout the reward system. However, electrophysiological studies do not allow causal inferences regarding the activity of VTA neurons with respect to these processes because they require artifici...
متن کاملUbiquity and Specificity of Reinforcement Signals throughout the Human Brain
Reinforcements and punishments facilitate adaptive behavior in diverse domains ranging from perception to social interactions. A conventional approach to understanding the corresponding neural substrates focuses on the basal ganglia and its dopaminergic projections. Here, we show that reinforcement and punishment signals are surprisingly ubiquitous in the gray matter of nearly every subdivision...
