The M-wave and CNV in the squirrel monkey: generality of cue modality and of reward

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology
E H BoydL E Brown

Abstract

Typical M-waves and CNVs were produced in squirrel monkey frontal and rostral parietal cortex by light cues, as well as by tone cues. With light cues, M-waves were about 50% as large as with tone cues, whereas CNVs were of about the same magnitude with either type of cue. Typical M-waves and CNVs were also produced when avoidance of tail-shock was substituted for food as a reinforcer. The magnitude of both ERPs appeared to follow an inverted-U function with increasing shock intensity. The use of tail-shock as a reinforcer generated more complexities both in ERP changes and in behavior than did food. In some animals, at high shock intensities, ERP increased, rather than decreased, as each session progressed. In some animals, a combination of food and avoidance of tail-shock produced a decrease, rathan than an increase, in ERPs and did not improve behavioral performance. Furthermore, animals would not perform effectively on a CNV paradigm with punishment for aborting the trial. It was also demonstrated that increased stress (immobilization of head or tail) resulted in a reduced magnitude of both the M-wave and the CNV. This may account for some of the complexities encountered with avoidance of tail-shock as a reinforcer.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
