Previous work (e.g. Deci, 1973) shows that rewards can undermine interest in intrinsically interesting tasks. The present study was designed to inoculate subjects against the effects of rewards by giving prior feedback ...
This study is an aims to clarify the role of delta fos-b in the reinforcement of sexual behavior in Syrian (Golden) hamsters. We used a one-way ANOVA to compare levels of delta fos-b expression from experienced animals to ...
Naturally motivated behaviors, like sexual behavior, are subject to behavioral plasticity, which can affect neuronal function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the plasticity of sexual behavior and neural ...
Research over the past three decades has demonstrated that many neural changes occur in response to rewarding stimuli and behavior. However, most of this research has focused on the changes that occur following drug use ...
Natural rewards and drug reinforcement cause an increase in frequency in motivated behaviors that are aimed at obtaining different rewards. These changes in behavior are reflecting changes in neurobiology. The majority of ...
