Coordinated and Compartmentalized Neuromodulation Shapes Sensory Processing in Drosophila (2015, positive): “…for example, different temporal patterns of dopamine release are thought to select the relevant circuit configurations that control inherently motivated behaviors as well as reinforcement learning (Graybiel et al., 1994; Grillner et al., 2005; Kreitzer and Malenka, 2008; Yin and Knowlton, 2006).”
The roles of the amygdala in the affective regulation of body, brain, and behaviour (2010, background): “R associations (Yin and knowlton 2006).”
Impaired spatial and non-spatial configural learning in patients with hippocampal pathology (2007, neutral): “Factors thought to be important include the duration and amount of training, the ease of memorization associations (e.g. deterministic versus probabilistic), and the relative integrity of the two neural systems in the learner (Yin & Knowlton, 2006).”
Intrinsically motivated action-outcome learning and goal-based action recall: a system-level bio-constrained computational model. (2013, background): “Thus, different BG-cortical loops tend to form whole systems that play partially distinct functions depending on the functioning and connectivity of the particular cortical area they involve (Haber, 2003; Yin and Knowlton, 2006).”
Dopamine in motivational control: rewarding, aversive, and alerting (2010, background): “Motivational value-coding DA neurons would provide an ideal instructive signal for striatal circuitry involved in value learning, such as learning of stimulus-response habits (Faure et al., 2005; Yin and Knowlton, 2006; Balleine and O’Doherty, 2010).”
Hippocampal replays under the scrutiny of reinforcement learning models. (2018, positive): “Surprisingly, the neural substrate of these computations seem to be quite similar to the one of MF-RL, as it would simply involve other cortico-basal loops with the same anatomo-functional organization (Yin and Knowlton, 2006).”
Spatial Cognition and the Brain (2008, background): “…(whether semantic or episodic in nature) depends on the hippocampus (Scoville & Milner 1957); this is termed “declarative” memory (Squire & Zola-Morgan 1991), in contrast to “procedural” memory (e.g., habits, motor learning), important aspects of which depend on the striatum (Yin & Knowlton 2006).”
Regulation of parkinsonian motor behaviors by optogenetic control of basal ganglia circuitry (2010, neutral): “Two criteria were used to ensure quality of recorded units: (1) recorded units smaller than 100mV (,3 times the noise band) were excluded from further analysis and (2) recorded units in which more than 1% of interspike intervals were shorter than 2 ms were excluded from further analysis.”
Psychology of Habit. (2016, background): “These circuits are organized as anatomically separate reentrant loops, two of which are essential for deliberate and habitual responding (Burton et al. 2015, Yin & Knowlton 2006).”
Prospective Optimization (2014, background): “In reinforcement-learning theory, this is called model-free learning, in which the basal ganglia serves as a lookup table that associates brain states values and actions [57].”
Beyond eye gaze: What else can eyetracking reveal about cognition and cognitive development? (2016, background): “…outcomes of psychiatric treatment in pediatric populaions, and also potentially facilitate earlier detection of risk factors or later substance abuse problems, such as enhanced sensitivity to ues of rewards and blunted D2 activity (Berridge, 2007; Goldstein nd Volkow, 2011; Yin and Knowlton, 2006).”
The habitual consumer. (2009, background): “In general, activation decreases in goal-and outcome-oriented brain systems like the pre-frontal cortex and increases in brain systems linked to stimulus control like the basal ganglia (see Yin & Knowlton, 2006).”
Convergent evidence for abnormal striatal synaptic plasticity in dystonia (2009, positive): “Striatal synaptic plasticity plays an important role in procedural and sensorimotor learning (Graybiel et al., 2000; Horvitz, 2009; Kreitzer and Malenka, 2008; Pisani et al., 2005; Yin and Knowlton, 2006).”
The cognitive functions of the caudate nucleus. (2008, background): “A series of elegant studies by Balleine and colleagues have provided direct evidence for this contention (and see Yin and Knowlton, 2006).”
The glutamate homeostasis hypothesis of addiction (2009, background): “Corticostriatal projections are responsible not only for generating learnt, well-established behaviours such as in drug taking, but also for changing behaviours in response to a variable environment, and thereby generating new adaptive behaviour”
