Abstract | A downshift from a more preferred to a less preferr ed incentive leads to a transient rejection of the lower incentive. This phenomenon, known as successive negative contrast (SNC), has been reported in studies with mammals, but not with fish, amphibi ans, or reptiles, all showing gradual adjustments to the new incentive conditions. It is assumed that an understanding of the brain systems involved in the onset of SNC in mammals will suggest likely bra in areas for a comparative analysis in nonmammalian vertebrates. Studies reviewed in this article show that opioid receptors are normally engaged during SNC, participate in the detection of the incentive downshift, play a role in SNC onset (delta receptors), and modulate recovery from SNC ( kappa receptors). However, opioid receptors do not seem to be involved in the consolidation of the downshift memory. These results suggest a relationship between the evolution of the opioid sy stem and the evolution of learning mechanisms involved in the adjustment to incentive downshifts in vertebrates. |

Role of k-opioid receptor agonist U-50,488H in consummatory successive negative contrast
Wood, Michael D. (2006)The role of K agonist U-50,488H in cSNC was explored in four experiments. Experiment one revealed that U-50 failed to influence cSNC on trial 11 but showed both an attenuation with low dose of U-50 and exaggeration of cSNC ... -
