Dissociations between appetitive and consummatory responses by pharmacological manipulations of reward-relevant brain regions.

abstract：:Animals and humans are able to predict and synchronize their daily activity to signals present in their environments. Environmental cues are most often associated with signaling the beginning or the end of a daily activity cycle, but they can also be used to time the presentation or availability of scarce resources. I...
