The dual pathway to creativity model: Creative ideation as a function of flexibility and persistence (2010, background): “As described earlier, a number of authors associate cognitive flexibility with the availability of dopamine in certain brain areas (eg, Ashby et al, 1999 ; Dreisbach & Goschke, 2004 ; also Leber, Turk-Brown, & Chun, 2008 ), and with reduced levels of latent inhibition (eg, Carson et al, 2003 ; C”
From cognitive to neural models of working memory (2007, background): “Specifically, it is proposed that phasic bursts of dopaminergic neurons may be critical for updating currently activated task-relevant representations whereas tonic dopaminergic activity serves to stabilize such representations (e.g. Durstewitz et al. 2000a; Cohen et al. 2002).”
Anterior cingulate activity during error and autonomic response (2005, background): “…a number of related processes are also likely to contribute to adaptive modulation of ongoing behavior, including dopaminergic error signaling (Cohen et al., 2002; Schultz, 2002) and re-representation of stimulus-evoked autonomic responses within medial and lateral prefrontal cortex (Damasio,…”
Neural mechanisms of addiction: the role of reward-related learning and memory. (2006, background): “This diffusely projecting architecture cannot support the processing and storage of detailed information; it does, however, appear to be ideal for coordinating responses across the NAc, amygdala, hippocampus, and PFC (terminal fields of VTA dopamine neurons) and the dorsal striatum (terminal fields…”
How positive affect modulates cognitive control: reduced perseveration at the cost of increased distractibility. (2004, neutral): “One particular hypothesis that addresses the role of phasic increases in DA has recently been suggested by Braver and Cohen (2000; Braver et al., 1999; Cohen et al., 2002).”
Neuroimaging studies of shifting attention: a meta-analysis (2004, background): “One line of current thinking is that the decision process is likely to involve integration of affective and cognitive information, and specifically dopamine systems related to reward (Cohen et al., 2002; O'Reilly et al., 2002; Rougier and O'Reilly, 2002).”
Addiction: a disease of learning and memory. (2005, background): “Further, it has been hypothesized that the ability to update information within the prefrontal cortex such that new goals can be selected and perseveration avoided is gated by phasic dopamine release (8, 60).”
THE COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF WORKING MEMORY (2007, background): “Thus, these two dopamine receptors likely have complementary functions, which serve to modulate active memory representations stored within PFC (Cohen et al. 2002).”
The Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Polymorphism: Relations to the Tonic–Phasic Dopamine Hypothesis and Neuropsychiatric Phenotypes (2004, background): “Phasic DA release has been linked specifically to the ‘updating’, ‘resetting’, or ‘gating’ of relevant novel information into neural network activation states, which are dynamically altered by these inputs (Barch et al, 2000, 1999; Cohen et al, 2002).”
A theory of cognitive control, aging cognition, and neuromodulation. (2002, background): “Thus, DA may support both the updating and maintenance of context information, but via different neural and computational mechanisms [14].”
