Glutamine-to-glutamate ratio in the nucleus accumbens predicts effort-based motivated performance in humans

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Lijing Xin, Gediminas Luksys, Alina Veronika Irene Strasser

Substantial evidence implicates the nucleus accumbens in motivated performance, but very little is known about the neurochemical underpinnings of individual differences in motivation. Here, we applied 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) at ultra-hi ...

Different emotional disturbances in two experimental models of temporal lobe epilepsy in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Affective symptoms such as anxiety and depression are frequently observed in patients with epilepsy. The mechanisms of comorbidity of epilepsy and affective disorders, however, remain unclear. Diverse models are traditionally used in epilepsy research, inc ...

Stress, genotype and norepinephrine in the prediction of mouse behavior using reinforcement learning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Wulfram Gerstner, Gediminas Luksys

Individual behavioral performance during learning is known to be affected by modulatory factors, such as stress and motivation, and by genetic predispositions that influence sensitivity to these factors. Despite numerous studies, no integrative framework i ...

In search of the neural circuits of intrinsic motivation

Frédéric Kaplan

Children seem to acquire new know-how in a continuous and open-ended manner. In this paper, we hypothesize that an intrinsic motivation to progress in learning is at the origins of the remarkable structure of children’s developmental trajectories. In this ...
