Dissociating the effects of dopamine D2 receptors on effort-based versus value-based decision making using a novel behavioral approach. Open
Cost-benefit decision making is essential for organisms to adapt to their ever-changing environment. Most studies of cost-benefit decision making involve choice conditions in which effort and value are varied simultaneously. This prevents …

Evidence for a Mixed Timing and Counting Strategy in Mice Performing a Mechner Counting Task Open
Numerosity, or the ability to understand and distinguish between discrete quantities, was first formalized for study in animals by Mechner (1958a). Rats had to press one lever (the counting lever) n times to arm food release from pr…

An Interaction between Serotonin Receptor Signaling and Dopamine Enhances Goal-Directed Vigor and Persistence in Mice Open
The functionally selective 5-HT2C receptor ligand SB242084 can increase motivation and have rapid onset anti–depressant-like effects. We sought to identify the specific behavioral effects of SB242084 treatment and elucidate the mechanism i…

A corticostriatal deficit promotes temporal distortion of automatic action in ageing Open
The acquisition of motor skills involves implementing action sequences that increase task efficiency while reducing cognitive loads. This learning capacity depends on specific cortico-basal ganglia circuits that are affected by normal agei…

Dopamine D2 Receptors in the Paraventricular Thalamus Attenuate Cocaine Locomotor Sensitization Open
Alterations in thalamic dopamine (DA) or DA D2 receptors (D2Rs) have been measured in drug addiction and schizophrenia, but the relevance of thalamic D2Rs for behavior is largely unknown. Using in situ hybridization and mice expressing gre…

An Examination of Goal-Directed Motivation in Mice: The Role of Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 2C Receptors Open
Motivation has been defined as a set of processes which enables organisms to overcome obstacles by energizing behavior in the pursuit of a goal. There are several important observations about motivated behavior which provide insight into t…

Decreasing Striatopallidal Pathway Function Enhances Motivation by Energizing the Initiation of Goal-Directed Action Open
Altered dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) binding in the striatum has been associated with abnormal motivation in neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. Here, we tested whether motivational deficits observed in mice with upregulated…

A novel strategy for dissecting goal-directed action and arousal components of motivated behavior with a progressive hold-down task. Open
Motivation serves 2 important functions: It guides actions to be goal-directed, and it provides the energy and vigor required to perform the work necessary to meet those goals. Dissociating these 2 processes with existing behavioral assays…
