Augmenting glutamatergic, but not dopaminergic, activity in the nucleus accumbens shell disrupts responding to a discrete alcohol cue in an alcohol context

Author(s): Valyear MD; Brown A; Deyab G; Villaruel FR; Lahlou S; Caporicci-Dinucci N; Chaudhri N;

Discrete alcohol cues and contexts are relapse triggers for people with alcohol use disorder exerting particularly powerful control over behaviour when they co-occur. Here, we investigated the neural substrates subserving the capacity for alcohol-associated ...

Neural correlates of recall and extinction in a rat model of appetitive Pavlovian conditioning

Author(s): Brown A; Villaruel FR; Chaudhri N;

Extinction is a fundamental form of inhibitory learning that is important for adapting to changing environmental contingencies. While numerous studies have investigated the neural correlates of extinction using Pavlovian fear conditioning and appetitive ope ...

Learning processes in relapse to alcohol use: lessons from animal models

Author(s): Valyear MD; LeCocq MR; Brown A; Villaruel FR; Segal D; Chaudhri N;

Rationale: Alcohol use is reliably preceded by discrete and contextual stimuli which, through diverse learning processes, acquire the capacity to promote alcohol use and relapse to alcohol use.
Objective: We review con ...

The rodent medial prefrontal cortex and associated circuits in orchestrating adaptive behavior under variable demands

Author(s): Howland JG; Ito R; Lapish CC; Villaruel FR;

Emerging evidence implicates rodent medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in tasks requiring adaptation of behavior to changing information from external and internal sources. However, the computations within mPFC and subsequent outputs that determine behavior ar ...

Corticostriatal suppression of appetitive Pavlovian conditioned responding

Author(s): Villaruel FR; Martins M; Chaudhri N;

The capacity to suppress learned responses is essential for animals to adapt in dynamic environments. Extinction is a process by which animals learn to suppress conditioned responding when an expected outcome is omitted. The infralimbic cortex (IL) to nucle ...
