Modelling compulsive actions in rats and mice: The back-translation of value-modulated attentional capture from humans to rodents Open
Value-modulated attentional capture (VMAC) refers to the tendency for highly valued cues to capture attention even when counterproductive to an individual’s goals. VMAC is thought to measure incentive salience and has been shown to correla…

Perinatal exposure to methadone or buprenorphine impairs hippocampal-dependent cognition and brain development in juvenile rats Open
The opioid crisis continues to escalate, disproportionately affecting women of reproductive age. Traditionally the first line of treatment for pregnant women with opioid use disorder is the mu-opioid receptor agonist methadone. However, in…

Dopamine D1 and D2 Receptors Are Important for Learning About Neutral-Valence Relationships in Sensory Preconditioning Open
Dopamine neurotransmission has been ascribed multiple functions with respect to both motivational and associative processes in reward-based learning, though these have proven difficult to tease apart. In order to better describe the role o…
