Liking, Wanting and the Incentive-Sensitization Theory of Addiction (2016, result): “In sum, many studies have now accumulated supporting our original conclusion that dopamine mediates desire rather than pleasure (Salamone & Correa, 2012), and it is now rather rare to find an affective neuroscientist studying reward who still asserts that dopamine mediates pleasure ‘liking’.”
The theory of constructed emotion: an active inference account of interoception and categorization (2017, positive): “…with engaging in vigorous action and learning that is necessary to achieve the rewards that maintain efficient allostasis (or restore it in the event of disruption), rather than playing a necessary or sufficient role in rewards themselves (Salamone and Correa, 2012; Guitart-Masip et al., 2014).”
Reward and aversion in a heterogeneous midbrain dopamine system (2013, background): “Consistent with this view, many recent findings challenge the view that DA release in target structures has a primary or exclusive role in reward processing (Bromberg-Martin et al., 2010; Salamone and Correa, 2012) although arguments can be made that the primary role of DA neuron phasic activity rem”
Mesolimbic Dopamine Signals the Value of Work (2015, positive): “It is widely thought that slow (tonic) [DA] changes are involved in motivation 10-12 .”
The nucleus accumbens: an interface between cognition, emotion, and action. (2015, background): “prominent among some neuroscientists and the lay media, fueled by a plethora of studies showing plays a ubiquitous role in behaviors related to obtaining them has faced increasing scrutiny, and several authors have challenged this idea (Berridge 2007, Nicola 2007, Salamone & Correa 2012).”
The Neuroscience of Drug Reward and Addiction. (2019, positive): “DA neurons in the VTA project to the NAc, which is a central hub of the reward circuit and a major driver of goal-directed actions that are sensitive to the current salience (estimated value) of an associated goal (281).”
The neuropsychology of consumer behavior and marketing (2018, background): “Whereas dopamine is a pervasive mechanism for reward processing in the wanting system, the liking system has a small number of regions where opioids and endocannabinoids intensify sensations of pleasure (e.g., Kringelbach & Berridge, 2012; Salamone & Correa, 2012).”
