One behavior to be effective depends on the choice and execution of a motor program simultaneous to opposing and unwanted actions inhibition. The ability to suppress a response varies among individuals. Accordingly, lower efficiency in the inhibition can lead to risky decision-making phenotypes and impulsive-compulsive disorders. Impulsivity is strongly related to psychoactive substance u…
Recently, the interest by brain systems that mediate implicit memory (non-declarative) has increased. Studies that examined the cognitive impairments observed in neurodegenerative disorders suggest that dorsal striatum (DS) is involved with this type of memory. Using the freezing conditioned response as a memory (fear) index, previous studies from our laboratory found that the DS is invo…
