1.
Kennedy N, Lee J, Killcross S, Westbrook R, Holmes N
Elife . 2024 Jul; 13. PMID: 39027985
How is new information organized in memory? According to latent state theories, this is determined by the level of surprise, or prediction error, generated by the new information: a small...

George D, Killcross S, Haddon J
Oxf Open Neurosci . 2024 Apr; 2:kvad003. PMID: 38596235
Ambiguous relationships between events may be established using interference procedures such as latent inhibition, extinction or counterconditioning. Under these conditions, the retrieval of individual associations between a stimulus and outcome...

Debs S, Conn I, Navaneethan B, Penklis A, Meyer U, Killcross S, et al.
Brain Behav Immun . 2024 Mar; 118:236-251. PMID: 38431238
Dopamine dysregulation contributes to psychosis and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia that can be modelled in rodents by inducing maternal immune activation (MIA). The selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator, raloxifene, can...

Qureshi O, Leake J, Delaney A, Killcross S, Westbrook R, Holmes N
J Neurosci . 2023 Mar; 43(16):2934-2949. PMID: 36927572
This study examined the effect of danger on consolidation of neutral information in two regions of the rat (male and female) medial temporal lobe: the perirhinal cortex (PRh) and basolateral...

Panayi M, Killcross S
Front Behav Neurosci . 2022 Nov; 16:983480. PMID: 36439968
Reward predictive cues can selectively motivate instrumental behaviors that predict the same rewarding outcomes, an effect known as specific Pavlovian-to-instrumental transfer (PIT). This selective effect is thought to be mediated...

Bingul A, Merlin S, Carrive P, Killcross S, Furlong T
Neurobiol Learn Mem . 2022 Jul; 193:107657. PMID: 35792325
Instrumental actions are initially goal-directed but with repeated performance can become habitual. Habitual actions are adaptive, learned behaviours that are automated in order to reduce cognitive load and to allow...

Andrews S, Parekh D, Brady B, Delbaere K, Huque M, Killcross S, et al.
J Aging Phys Act . 2021 Dec; 30(5):813-823. PMID: 34929661
Habits play an important role in physical activity (PA) engagement; however, these associations in older people are not well understood. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between engagement...

Roughley S, Marcus A, Killcross S
Front Behav Neurosci . 2021 Sep; 15:740992. PMID: 34526883
Dopamine neurotransmission has been ascribed multiple functions with respect to both motivational and associative processes in reward-based learning, though these have proven difficult to tease apart. In order to better...

Panayi M, Killcross S
Cereb Cortex Commun . 2021 Jul; 2(1):tgab010. PMID: 34296155
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a critical structure in the flexible control of value-based behaviors. OFC dysfunction is typically only detected when task or environmental contingencies change, against a backdrop...

Ma C, Jean-Richard-Dit-Bressel P, Roughley S, Vissel B, Balleine B, Killcross S, et al.
Cereb Cortex Commun . 2021 Jul; 1(1):tgaa039. PMID: 34296108
Bidirectionally aberrant medial orbitofrontal cortical (mOFC) activity has been consistently linked with compulsive disorders and related behaviors. Although rodent studies have established a causal link between mOFC excitation and compulsive-like...
