Humans and animals time intervals from seconds to minutes with high accuracy but limited precision. Consequently, time-based decisions are inevitably subjected our endogenous timing uncertainty, thus require temporal risk assessment. In this study, we tested assessment ability of humans when participants had withhold each subsequent response for a minimum duration earn reward reset the trial time. Premature responses were not penalized in Experiment 1 2. Participants tried maximize within...
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) have been associated with the expression of adaptive maladaptive behavior elicited by fear-related drug-associated cues. However, reported effects mPFC manipulations on cue-elicited natural reward-seeking inhibition thereof varied, few studies examining cortico-striatal contributions in tasks that require responding to cues signaling reward punishment within same session. current study aimed better elucidate role NAc...
Abstract The acquisition of active avoidance (AA) behavior is typically aided by the presence two signals—the warning signal, which predicts future occurrence an aversive event (e.g., shocks), and safety presented upon successful oncoming shocks. While signal could be conceived to act as a Pavlovian fear cue, likely mediated brain areas that underlie cue conditioning, neural substrates underlying signaling are less clear, largely due unavailability AA tasks devoid explicit signal. present...
Timing uncertainty is a critical component of temporal decision-making, as it determines the decision strategies that maximize reward rate. However, little known about biological substrates timing uncertainty. In this study, we report CA3 subregion ventral hippocampus (vCA3), relatively unexplored area in timing, regulating informs making. Using variant differential reinforcement low rates responding (DRL) task incorporates levels approach-avoidance conflict, rats were trained to wait...
