DOPAMINERGIC MODULATION OF EFFORT-RELATED CHOICE BEHAVIOR AS ASSESSED BY A PROGRESSIVE RATIO CHOW FEEDING CHOICE TASK: PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES AND THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES.

Dopaminergic modulation of effort-related choice behavior as assessed by a progressive ratio chow feeding choice task: pharmacological studies and the role of individual differences.

Mesolimbic dopamine (DA) is involved in behavioral activation and effort-related processes.Rats with impaired DA transmission reallocate their instrumental behavior away from food-reinforced tasks with high response requirements, and instead select less effortful food-seeking behaviors.In the present study, the effects of several drug treatments we

Genomic patterns of strain-specific genetic structure, linkage, and selection across fall armyworm populations

Abstract Background Molecular genetic approaches have become vital to understanding the evolutionary processes that act on insect pest populations.From mapping the development of resistance to monitoring and predicting pest movement, genomic tools can inform and enhance pest management programs.Here, we used whole genome sequencing population genom
