A deficit in inhibitory gating of auditory evoked responses was examined in 15 schizophrenic patients, their first-degree relatives, and normal subjects, using a conditioning-testing paradigm with the P50 wave of the auditory evokes response, finding a result that replicates the previous finding of a deficit in inhibition in schizophrenia.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryCognitive and motor shifting aptitude disorder in Parkinson's disease.
374 Citations1984A.R. Cools, John H. van den Bercken +3 more
Parkinson's disease is interpreted as reflecting a central programming deficit that manifests itself in verbal, figural and motor modalities, that is, a diminished "shifting aptitude" characteristic of patients with dysfunctioning basal ganglia.
PsychopharmacologySelf-injection of amphetamine directly into the brain
372 Citations1983Bartley G. Hoebel, Anthony P. Monaco +4 more
It is concluded that amphetamine self-injected into the accumbens is a positive reinforcer, and this localization of ‘amphetamine reward’ suggests that the nucleus accUMens contains a synaptic mechanism underlying amphetamine abuse and, perhaps, also natural reinforcement of behavior.
PsychopharmacologyAttenuation of intravenous amphetamine reinforcement by central dopamine blockade in rats
370 Citations1976Robert A. Yokel, Roy A. Wise
DA seems to be critically involved in mediation of the reinforcing effects of amphetamine, as it differentially affected amphetamine self-administration and caused periods of increased rate of responding for amphetamine which were followed, in the case of higher doses, by response cessation.

ScienceNorepinephrine in Chronic Paranoid Schizophrenia: Above-Normal Levels in Limbic Forebrain
271 Citations1978Irene J. Farley, Kathleen Price +4 more
In postmortem examination of brains of patients with chronic paranoid schizophrenia, above-normal norepinephrine levels were measured in the ventral septum, the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, the nucleus accumbens, and the mammillary bodies, suggesting the possibility of a malfunction of limbic noradrenergic mechanisms in schizophrenia, especially the paranoid variety.
Brain Research ReviewsDopamine and depression: A review of recent evidence. I. Empirical studies
269 Citations1983Paul Willner
There is good evidence that the nigro-striatal DA system is underactive in retarded depressions, and some evidence that DA agonists are therapeutically effective in these cases, but it remains unclear whether changes in DA function are primary or secondary.
PsychopharmacologyAbolition of the expression but not the acquisition of latent inhibition by chronic amphetamine in rats
262 Citations1984I. Weiner, R. E. Lubow +1 more
The effects of acute and chronic 1.5 mg/kg dl-amphetamine administration on the ability of rats to ignore irrelevant stimuli were examined using the paradigm of latent inhibition (LI) in a conditioned emotional response (CER) procedure.
Pharmacology Biochemistry and BehaviorThe neural substrates for the motor-activating properties of psychostimulants: A review of recent findings
260 Citations1986Neal R. Swerdlow, Franco J. Vaccarino +2 more
The findings suggest the presence of at least two separate neural systems capable of mediating behavioral activation, including caffeine and the neuropeptide, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) appear to be independent of this circuitry.
Journal of Psychiatric ResearchFrontal lobe dysfunctions in schizophrenia—I. Eye movement impairments
258 Citations1984Smadar Levin
The phenomena of eye movement impairments in schizophrenia are interpreted in this paper, Part I of a two-paper series, in the context of neural mechanisms of attention and eye movement control in terms of a dysfunction of temporo-parietal mechanisms of task-engagement.
