DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104159
Abstract: Research suggests that repetitive reinforcers wane in their ability to maintain operant behavior in a manner consistent with habituation. Weaker reinforcers, including sensory stimuli common in human work, may be most impacted by repetition. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2016.11.059
Abstract: The vertebrate diencephalic A11 system provides the sole dopaminergic innervation of hindbrain and spinal cord and has been implicated in modulation of locomotion and sensory processes. However, the exact contributions of sensory stimuli and motor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.09.045
Abstract: Sensory stimuli with graded intensities often lead to yes-or-no decisions on whether to respond to the stimuli. How this graded-to-binary conversion is implemented in the central nervous system (CNS) remains poorly understood. Here, we show… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-04118-6
Abstract: Associative memories guide behavioural adaptation by binding together outcome-predictive sensory stimuli 1 , 2 . However, in a feature-rich environment, only a subset of stimuli may predict a desired outcome 3 , 4 . How… read more here.

Wired to Connect: The Autonomic Socioemotional Reflex Arc
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.841207
Abstract: We have previously proposed that mothers and infants co-regulate one another’s autonomic state through an autonomic conditioning mechanism, which starts during gestation and results in the formation of autonomic socioemotional reflexes (ASRs) following birth. Theoretically,… read more here.
