Reward and detection thresholds for brain stimulation: dissociative effects of cocaine
Brain Research
|March 30, 1981
Abstract:
The effects of cocaine on both rewarding and detection thresholds for intracranial stimulation to the same brain sites in the same animals were determined. The drug caused a dissociation in effects on the two types of brain stimulation. Detection threshold was elevated at doses of cocaine that lowered the reward threshold.
