Differential control over drug-seeking behavior by drug-associated conditioned reinforcers and discriminative stimuli predictive of drug availabilityPatricia Di Ciano
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EB, England, UK
Behav Neurosci 117:952-60. 2003..These results suggest that drug-seeking behavior can be influenced differentially by CSs and that conditioned reinforcers are especially important for maintaining prolonged sequences of drug-seeking behavior...
