This study shows that dopamine fluctuations in the nucleus accumbens reflect reward prediction errors incorporating confidence and uncertainty during visual decision-making in rats.

This study adapts the Pavlovian-instrumental transfer paradigm to include a non-rewarded cue, finding that neither male nor female rats show outcome-specific PIT when an active baseline is present.

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of protein synthesis inhibitors' effects on rodent fear conditioning, finding robust effects on training and reconsolidation but not extinction.

This paper uses computational models to show that homeostatic plasticity can destabilize memories during reconsolidation, linking it to synaptic downscaling and behavioral effects of protein synthesis inhibition.

This paper introduces a behavioral method in rats to reduce fear memories by replacing strong aversive stimuli with weaker ones during memory retrieval, showing long-lasting effects.

Phobos is a free, self-calibrating software for measuring freezing behavior that matches manual scoring reliability and reduces user variability.

This study investigates the temporal windows for CB1 receptor-mediated memory destabilisation during reconsolidation in the amygdala and hippocampus using pharmacological interventions in rats.
