Beta-Blocking Pavlov's Bells: Propranolol Attenuates Compound Extinction in an Error-Dependent Manner

Ashleigh K. Brink, Clizia Martini, Laura H. Corbit

This paper investigates how propranolol affects compound extinction by testing whether prediction error or stimulus novelty drives extinction learning and relapse reduction.

Alpha-2 agonism of the locus coeruleus impairs learning driven by negative prediction error

Ashleigh K. Brink, S. K. C. Lui, Laura H. Corbit

This study shows that LC activity is crucial for learning to reduce responding in both extinction and overexpectation paradigms, as clonidine impaired these processes.
