Increasing the incentive salience of cocaine challenges preference for pup- over cocaine-associated stimuli during early postpartum: place preference and locomotor analyses in the lactating female ratKatharine M Seip
Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers University, 197 University Avenue, Newark, NJ 07102, USA
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 194:309-19. 2007..Locomotor rate was measured during conditioning (stimuli-present) and test (stimulus-absent) sessions...
Incentive salience of cocaine across the postpartum period of the female ratKatharine M Seip
Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers University, 197 University Avenue, Newark, NJ 07102, USA
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 199:119-30. 2008..The present study examines early and late postpartum females' preference for a cocaine-associated chamber when contrasted with a chamber associated with saline (rather than pups)...
Exposure to pups influences the strength of maternal motivation in virgin female ratsKatharine M Seip
Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers University, Newark, NJ 07102, USA
Physiol Behav 95:599-608. 2008..Maternal behavior did not predict chamber preference. Results suggest that pup-exposure, regardless of length, is sufficient to support strong maternal motivation, whereas parity is not required...
Transient inactivation of the ventral tegmental area selectively disrupts the expression of conditioned place preference for pup- but not cocaine-paired contextsKatharine M Seip
Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, Newark, NJ 07102, USA
Behav Neurosci 123:1325-38. 2009..We concluded that the VTA is differentially involved in the expression of conditioned preference for contexts paired with pups, a salient natural stimulus, and contexts paired with cocaine...
Effect of signaling reinforcement on resistance to change in a multiple scheduleMatthew C Bell
Psychology Department, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA 95053, USA
Behav Processes 74:33-48. 2007..Experiment 2 presented two equal signaled schedules where, during resistance to change tests, the signal remained for one schedule and was removed for the second. Resistance to change was consistently lower when the signal was absent...
