Journal Article
George, D. N., Jenkins, T. A., & Killcross, S. (2011). Dissociation of prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens dopaminergic systems in conditional learning in rats. Behavioural Brain Research, 225(1), 47-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2011.06.028

There is converging evidence that the prefrontal and mesolimbic dopaminergic (DAergic) systems are involved in the performance of a variety of tasks that require the use of contextual, or task-setting, information to select an appropriate response fr...

Impaired conditional task performance in a high schizotypy population: Relation to cognitive deficits (2011)
Journal Article
Haddon, J. E., George, D. N., Grayson, L., McGowan, C., Honey, R. C., & Killcross, S. (2011). Impaired conditional task performance in a high schizotypy population: Relation to cognitive deficits. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 64(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2010.529579

Cognitive impairments in schizophrenia have been characterized as reflecting a core deficit in the maintenance or use of task-setting cues to mediate appropriate ongoing behaviour. This analysis suggests that cognitive deficits in schizophrenia will... Read More about Impaired conditional task performance in a high schizotypy population: Relation to cognitive deficits.
