Interactions between serotonin and dopamine in the control of impulsive choice in rats: therapeutic implications for impulse control disordersCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Neuropsychopharmacology 30:669-82. 2005..These data suggest a significant role for 5-HT : DA interactions within the NAC in the control of impulsivity, and in the mechanism by which amphetamine decreases impulsive choice...
Behavioral models of impulsivity in relation to ADHD: translation between clinical and preclinical studiesCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, CB2 3EB, UK
Clin Psychol Rev 26:379-95. 2006....
Contrasting roles of basolateral amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex in impulsive choiceCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Site, Cambridge CB2 3EB, United Kingdom
J Neurosci 24:4718-22. 2004..This is the first time that lesions to these two structures have produced opposite behavioral effects, indicating their distinct contributions to cognition...
Lesions to the subthalamic nucleus decrease impulsive choice but impair autoshaping in rats: the importance of the basal ganglia in Pavlovian conditioning and impulse controlCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Site, Cambridge, UK
Eur J Neurosci 21:3107-16. 2005..These data bear a striking similarity to those observed after lesions of the orbitofrontal cortex and are suggestive of an important role for corticosubthalamic connections in complex cognitive behaviour...
Double dissociation between serotonergic and dopaminergic modulation of medial prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex during a test of impulsive choiceCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Site, Cambridge, CB2 3EB, UK
Cereb Cortex 16:106-14. 2006..These data suggest a double dissociation between serotonergic and dopaminergic modulation of impulsive decision-making within distinct areas of frontal cortex...
Fractionating impulsivity: contrasting effects of central 5-HT depletion on different measures of impulsive behaviorCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Neuropsychopharmacology 29:1331-43. 2004..However, not all measures of impulsivity appear to be uniformly affected by 5-HT depletion, or correlate with each other, supporting the suggestion that impulsivity is not a unitary construct...
5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor antagonists have opposing effects on a measure of impulsivity: interactions with global 5-HT depletionCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EB, UK
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 176:376-85. 2004..Mounting evidence suggests that 5-HT(2A) and 5-HT(2C) receptors have opposing effects on behaviour, and that the 5-HT(2C) receptor antagonist SB 242084 produces a pattern of behaviour similar to 5-HT depletion...
Intra-prefrontal 8-OH-DPAT and M100907 improve visuospatial attention and decrease impulsivity on the five-choice serial reaction time task in ratsCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, UK
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 167:304-14. 2003..However, it is not known precisely how serotonin (5-HT) modulates the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to affect cognitive function and behaviour...
Limbic corticostriatal systems and delayed reinforcementRudolf N Cardinal
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EB, UK
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1021:33-50. 2004....
Global 5-HT depletion attenuates the ability of amphetamine to decrease impulsive choice on a delay-discounting task in ratsCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EB, UK
Psychopharmacology (Berl) 170:320-31. 2003..CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the ability of amphetamine to decrease impulsivity is not solely due to its effects on dopaminergic systems, but may also depend on serotonergic neurotransmission...
IRS2-Akt pathway in midbrain dopamine neurons regulates behavioral and cellular responses to opiatesScott J Russo
Department of Psychiatry and Center for Basic Neuroscience, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, Texas 75390 9070, USA
Nat Neurosci 10:93-9. 2007..These findings directly implicate the IRS2-Akt signaling pathway as a critical regulator of dopamine cell morphology and opiate reward...
DeltaFosB induction in orbitofrontal cortex mediates tolerance to cocaine-induced cognitive dysfunctionCatharine A Winstanley
Department of Psychiatry and Basic Neuroscience, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75390, USA
J Neurosci 27:10497-507. 2007..Identification of deltaFosB in the OFC as a mediator of tolerance to the effects of cocaine on cognition provides fundamentally new insight into the transcriptional modifications associated with addiction...
The orbitofrontal cortex, impulsivity, and addiction: probing orbitofrontal dysfunction at the neural, neurochemical, and molecular levelCatharine A Winstanley
University of British Columbia, Department of Psychology, Vancouver BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1121:639-55. 2007..Through integrating what is known of the interaction between addictive drugs and impulsivity at the neural, neurochemical, and molecular level, novel insight may be obtained into the multi-faceted regulation of the addicted state...
