Back to the inverted-U for music preference: A review of the literature (2017, background): “…filled the gaps left by the demise of arousal (and other) theories of preference through the formulation of the “reward system” and pleasure/reward-inducing neurotransmitters (e.g., Blood & Zatorre, 2001; Chanda & Levitin, 2013; Huron, 2001; Schultz, 2015; Yager, Garcia, Wunsch, & Ferguson, 2015).”
The complete connectome of a learning and memory centre in an insect brain (2017, background): “The latter scenario could explain the increase in DAN activation by reinforcement-predicting odors observed in adult Drosophila 47 , bees and monkeys 3;49 .”
