Namba M, Tomek S, Olive M, Beckmann J, Gipson C
Front Behav Neurosci . 2018 Feb; 12:17. PMID: 29479311
In drug addiction, cues previously associated with drug use can produce craving and frequently trigger the resumption of drug taking in individuals vulnerable to relapse. Environmental stimuli associated with drugs...

Smith A, Hofford R, Zentall T, Beckmann J
Psychopharmacology (Berl) . 2018 Feb; 235(5):1427-1437. PMID: 29455291
Rationale: Laboratory experiments often model risk through a choice between a large, uncertain (LU) reward against a small, certain (SC) reward as an index of an individual's risk tolerance. An...

Batten S, Pomerleau F, Quintero J, Gerhardt G, Beckmann J
J Neurochem . 2018 Jan; 145(4):276-286. PMID: 29315659
The attribution of incentive salience to reward-predictive stimuli has been shown to be associated with substance abuse-like behavior such as increased drug taking. Evidence suggests that glutamate neurotransmission and sequential...

Yates J, Bardo M, Beckmann J
Addict Biol . 2017 Nov; 24(1):65-75. PMID: 29178664
Rats raised in an enriched condition (EC) show decreased stimulant self-administration relative to rats reared in an isolated condition (IC). However, few studies have examined the behavioral mechanisms underlying this...

Chow J, Beckmann J
Behav Brain Res . 2017 Oct; 338:40-46. PMID: 29037660
Glutamatergic signaling plays an important role in learning and memory. Using Pavlovian conditioned approach procedures, the mechanisms that drive stimulus-reward learning and memory have been investigated. However, there are instances...

Strickland J, Beckmann J, Rush C, Stoops W
Drug Alcohol Depend . 2017 Sep; 180:223-226. PMID: 28922652
Background: Numerous studies in behavioral economics have demonstrated that individuals are more sensitive to the prospect of a loss than a gain (i.e., loss aversion). Although loss aversion has been...

Hofford R, Chow J, Beckmann J, Bardo M
Psychopharmacology (Berl) . 2017 Sep; 234(23-24):3499-3506. PMID: 28916995
Background: Opioid abuse is a major problem around the world. Identifying environmental factors that contribute to opioid abuse and addiction is necessary for decreasing this epidemic. In rodents, environmental enrichment...

Batten S, Beckmann J
Addict Biol . 2017 Aug; 23(5):989-999. PMID: 28791757
In animal models of substance-use disorder, individuals that repeatedly self-administer drugs of abuse have long-lasting neuronal adaptations that do not occur ostensibly in control animals only exposed to natural reinforcers...

Smith A, Beckmann J, Zentall T
Sci Rep . 2017 Jul; 7(1):6625. PMID: 28747679
Individuals often face choices that have uncertain outcomes and have important consequences. As a model of this environment, laboratory experiments often offer a choice between an uncertain, large reward that...

Chow J, Smith A, George Wilson A, Zentall T, Beckmann J
Behav Brain Res . 2016 Dec; 320:244-254. PMID: 27993692
Stimuli that are more predictive of subsequent reward also function as better conditioned reinforcers. Moreover, stimuli attributed with incentive salience function as more robust conditioned reinforcers. Some theories have suggested...
