DOI: 10.1007/s00213-020-05571-3
Abstract: Pavlovian conditioned approach paradigms are used to characterize the nature of motivational behaviors in response to stimuli as either directed toward the cue (i.e., sign-tracking) or the site of reward delivery (i.e., goal-tracking). Recent evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00213-021-05887-8
Abstract: RATIONALE Reward-associated cues can promote maladaptive behavior, including risky decision-making in a gambling setting. A propensity for sign tracking over goal tracking-i.e., interaction with a reward-predictive cue rather than the site of reward-demonstrates an individual's… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2017.10.037
Abstract: ABSTRACT Environmental rewards and Pavlovian reward cues can acquire incentive salience, thereby eliciting incentive motivational states and instigate reward‐seeking. In rats, the incentive salience of food cues can be measured during a Pavlovian conditioned approach… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2020.112774
Abstract: Studies of memory reconsolidation of pavlovian memories have typically employed unimodal conditioned stimuli, despite the use of multimodal compound stimuli in other settings. Here we studied sign-tracking behaviour to a compound audiovisual stimulus. First, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2020.109861
Abstract: Sign-tracking behavior in Pavlovian autoshaping is known to be a relevant index of the incentive salience attributed to reward-related cues. Evidence has accumulated to suggest that animals that exhibit a sign-tracker phenotype are especially vulnerable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/pha0000538
Abstract: Sign- and goal-tracking are behaviors seen in many species when a conditioned stimulus and it's corresponding unconditioned stimulus are presented at separate locations, and have been the focus of studies on appetitive conditioned and drug… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tmtt.2016.2633352
Abstract: This paper presents a portable radar system for short-range localization, inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging, and vital sign tracking. The proposed sensor incorporates frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) and interferometry (Doppler) modes, which enable this radar system… read more here.

Ethanol Exposure History and Alcoholic Reward Differentially Alter Dopamine Release in the Nucleus Accumbens to a Reward‐Predictive Cue
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research"
DOI: 10.1111/acer.13636
Abstract: BACKGROUND Conditioned stimuli (CS) that predict reward delivery acquire the ability to induce phasic dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). This dopamine release may facilitate conditioned approach behavior, which often manifests as approach to… read more here.
