Child Temperament: An Integrative Review of Concepts, Research Programs, and Measures (2008, background): “This appetitive positive affect system is sided by a consummatory positive affect system, which is implicated in processing sensory pleasure such as hedonic touch or taste and which involves the opiate and GABA system in the ventral striatum and orbital frontal cortex (Burgdorf & Pamksepp, 2006).”
What (and Why) is Positive Psychology? (2005, background): “But others are studying areas of human experience about which there was very little published research before the year 2000, such as gratitude, forgiveness, awe, inspiration, hope, curiosity, and laughter (there are commonalities between tickle-induced vocalization in rat pups and youthful laughter ”
Animal pleasure and its moral significance (2009, background): “Two leading neuroscientists, and an ethologist, have recently suggested that other animals may experience some feelings more intensely than we do (Burgdorf and Panksepp, 2007; Bekoff, 2007).”
Affective Neuroscience: Past, Present, and Future (2009, background): “Similarly, there is also an increasing recognition of the need to better understand the generation and regulation of positive, as well as negative, affect (for reviews see Berridge & Kringelbach, 2008; Burgdorf & Panksepp, 2006).”
The Power of Play: A Pediatric Role in Enhancing Development in Young Children (2018, background): “‍ 58 Rats rough-and-tumble play and “ ” – produce a distinctive sound that Panksepp labeled rat laughter.”
Happiness, inspiration and the fully functioning person: Separating hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in the workplace (2012, background): “A recent review of the literature concludes that there are at least two distinct classes of positive affect states in the brain, with separate but overlapping neuroanatomical substrates (Burgdorf & Panksepp, 2006 ).”
The short-latency dopamine signal: a role in discovering novel actions? (2006, background): “, and are most likely based on post-gaze-shift evaluations of behavioural consequence, must derive from sources other than the pre-saccadic DA respons”
Animal play and animal welfare (2011, background): “The process gets its motivational and affective force by tapping into already existing reward mechanisms (Burgdorf & Panksepp 2006) thus generating a specific pleasurable, ‘fun’ aspect to play (Vanderschuren et al. 1997; Panksepp & Burgdorf 2010).”
Effort-related functions of nucleus accumbens dopamine and associated forebrain circuits (2007, background): “1977), fixed-interval (FI) 30 s 1 Several authors have made distinctions between aspects of motivated behavior that are dissociated by dopaminergic manipulations (e.g., activational vs directional, Salamone 1988; preparatory vs consummatory, Blackburn et al. 1989; instrumental vs consummatory, Salam”
An integrative and functional framework for the study of animal emotion and mood (2010, background): “…time, and to act as proximate mechanisms guiding and coordinating the organism to achieve two principal survival goals: maximizing acquisition of fitness-enhancing rewards and minimizing exposure to fitness-threatening punishers (e.g. Rolls 2005; Burgdorf & Panksepp 2006; Nesse & Ellsworth 2009).”
Effects of music therapy on depression compared with psychotherapy (2010, background): “A number of neuropeptides, including dopamine, are involved in producing the pleasurable sensations that enhance positive emotions and diminish depressive states (Burgdorf & Panksepp, 2006).”
The Use of Judgement Bias to Assess Welfare in Farm Livestock (2015, background): “Emotions arise in salient situations and allow animals to maximise the acquisition of fitness-enhancing rewards and minimise the exposure to fitness-threatening cues (Rolls 2005; Burgdorf & Panksepp 2006; Nettle & Bateson 2012).”
Assessment of positive emotions in animals to improve their welfare. (2007, background): “It is noteworthy in this context that opioids act on the mesolimbic axis either indirectly by stimulating dopaminergic VTA neurons or directly by increasing dopamine at the level of the nucleus accumbens, supporting the view that mesolimbic dopamine is closely linked with rewarding stimulation and a”
