Generational Association Studies of Dopaminergic Genes in Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) Subjects
Although our sample size was limited, and linkage analysis is necessary, the results support the putative role of dopaminergic polymorphisms in RDS behaviors. This study shows the importance of a nonspecific RDS phenotype and informs an understanding of how evaluating single subset behaviors of RDS may lead to spurious results. Utilization of a nonspecific "reward" phenotype may be a paradigm shift in future association and linkage studies involv…
The Reward Deficiency Syndrome
The dopaminergic system, and in particular the dopamine D2 receptor, has been implicated in reward mechanisms. The net effect of neurotransmitter interaction at the mesolimbic brain region induces "reward" when dopamine (DA) is released from the neuron at the nucleus accumbens and interacts with a dopamine D2 receptor. "The reward cascade" involves the release of serotonin, which in turn at the hypothalmus stimulates enkephalin, which in turn inh…

Spectral Analysis of the Central Nervous System Effects of the Relaxation Response Elicited by Autogenic Training
This study examined the effects of the relaxation response, elicited by autogenic training, on central nervous system (CNS) activity. We used computerized spectral analysis of EEG activity as a dependent measure. After baseline EEG data were obtained for all subjects, the experimental group practiced standard autogenic exercises for 15 experimental sessions with home practice. The control subjects received the same number of sessions under identi…

Avoidance Behavior of the Cat as a Function of Shock Intensity and Training Schedule
A shuttle-box avoidance of shock was acquired and extinguished in 38 cats, distributed in five treatment groups according to US level (1, 2, 4 ma.) and trials per day (5, 10, 20 trials). Performance on six behavioral measures indicated that 2 ma. was the optimal current level and five shock-trials per day the optimal training schedule. The group trained at both preferred values was superior in acquisition speed, extinction speed, trial of first a…
