Temporal and qualitative dynamics of conditioned taste aversion processing: combined generalization testing and licking microstructure analysisJohn Paul Baird
Department of Psychology, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002, US
Behav Neurosci 119:983-1003. 2005..These results suggest that licking microstructure analysis can be used to assay changes in hedonic evaluation caused by treatments that produce aversive states...
Effects of melanin-concentrating hormone on licking microstructure and brief-access taste responsesJohn Paul Baird
Dept of Psychology, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002, USA
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 291:R1265-74. 2006....
Effects of neuropeptide Y on feeding microstructure: dissociation of appetitive and consummatory actionsJohn Paul Baird
Department of Psychology, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002, USA
Behav Neurosci 120:937-51. 2006..Therefore, NPY also increased appetitive feeding behaviors, but its consummatory effects were limited to caloric solutions. The results are discussed with regard to their potential to explain current discrepancies in the literature...
Behavioral processes mediating phencyclidine-induced decreases in voluntary sucrose consumptionJohn Paul Baird
Department of Psychology, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002, USA
Pharmacol Biochem Behav 88:272-9. 2008..We conclude that PCP produces moderate anhedonia as reflected through a specific decrease in the sustained consumption of moderately palatable sucrose solutions...
Effects of hindbrain melanin-concentrating hormone and neuropeptide Y administration on licking for water, saccharin, and sucrose solutionsJohn Paul Baird
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Program, Amherst College, Amherst, MA 01002, USA
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 294:R329-43. 2008....
Orexin-A hyperphagia: hindbrain participation in consummatory feeding responsesJohn Paul Baird
Department of Psychology, Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts 01002, USA
Endocrinology 150:1202-16. 2009..The meal size increases may be due to reduced postingestive feedback inhibition induced by ORXA delivered to either the hindbrain or forebrain ventricles...
Anatomical dissociation of melanocortin receptor agonist effects on taste- and gut-sensitive feeding processesJohn Paul Baird
Dept of Psychology, Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 301:R1044-56. 2011....
Behavioral processes underlying the intake suppressive effects of melanocortin 3/4 receptor activation in the ratDiana L Williams
Department of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, 3815 Walnut Street, Philadelphia 19104, USA
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 161:47-53. 2002..Central application of MTII, a melanocortin 3/4 receptor agonist, reduces food intake. The behavioral mechanisms underlying the anorexia, however, have not been evaluated...
