Interaction between stress and addiction: Contributions from Latin-American neuroscience
Drug addiction is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder that escalates from an initial exposure
to drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, cannabis, or heroin, to compulsive drug-seeking and …

Memory out of context: Spacing effects and decontextualization in a computational model of the medial temporal lobe.
Some neural representations gradually change across multiple timescales. Here we argue
that modeling this “drift” could help explain the spacing effect (the long-term benefit of …

Conducting extinction in multiple contexts attenuates relapse of operant behavior in humans
In one experiment with human participants, we investigated the effects of using multiple
contexts during extinction on the renewal of operant responses. Undergraduate students …

[HTML][HTML] Systematic review and meta-analysis of the extinguished response recovery effects in children
Behavioral problems in the educational context represent a daily challenge for teachers and
educators, considering their impact on the teaching-learning process. Nowadays, various …

Prevalence of relapse of automatically maintained behavior resulting from context changes
Increases in behavior due to context changes are common and are known as instances of
renewal. Clinically relevant examples from the literature highlighting renewal often include …

An analysis of extinction-cue features in the reduction of operant behavior relapse
The present free operant conditioning experiments with rats examined the impact of
manipulating different traits of an extinction-cue on ABA renewal. All rats were trained to …

Exposure to beer prior to extinction reduces spontaneous recovery of beer seeking in rats
In one experiment with rats, we investigated the impact of a retrieval-extinction procedure on
spontaneous recovery of operant responses. Four groups of rats were trained to press a …

Effects of delay of reinforcement on ABA renewal
ABA renewal was assessed by decreasing response rates by means of extinction or a 12-s
delay of reinforcement in one experiment with rats. In a first phase, rats were trained to lever …
