Crack cocaine use and dependence has been steadily increasing since the mid‐1980s. Treatment approaches vary from simple psychotherapy to intensive medication regimens. One clear phenomenon that has been implicated in the continued use and abuse of crack cocaine is craving. Craving is believed to be a response that has been conditioned with previous drug using episodes, and is elicited by environmental cues. The current study investigated the use of three aversion therapies (chemical, covert sensitization, and faradic) designed to eliminate craving for cocaine. Seventy subjects were randomly assigned to one of three aversion treatments or a relaxation control condition. Results indicate that aversion therapy reduces crack cocaine craving. The use of aversion therapy as an adjunct to traditional treatment programs for reducing craving is discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Where stimuli are possibly discriminable but do not elicit spontaneous differential looking it is customary to use one or other variation of the habituation–dishabituation method in order to investigate their discriminability, and the literature abounds with such studies. However, there are many variations on habituation–dishabituation procedures, varying both within and between the sensory modalities investigated. Additionally, infant attention is a dynamic process which is likely to change over time, and given the great variations in procedures it can often be difficult to know whether infants are giving a familiarity or a novelty preference at test, which can make interpretation of results a difficult, and often controversial problem. Houston‐Price and Nakai give some clear examples of the changing nature of infant preferences, and relate them particularly to the amount of familiarisation prior to testing. The model they favour (and which receives a good deal of support) is that put forward by (among others) Hunter and Ames (1988) in which preferences change over the course of familiarisation time, from preference for neither familiarity or novelty, to familiarity, to no preference, to a novelty preference. They suggest that ‘If an attentional shift from what is familiar to what is novel is always found as the encoding of a familiar stimulus… is completed… then the pattern of change in preference over time should provide crucial information regarding the identity of the obtained effect’. I will argue that this attentional shift is not always found, and that in many instances we need converging evidence in order to clarify experimental findings.

Researchers have recently demonstrated that mind-wandering episodes can vary on numerous dimensions, and it has been suggested that assessing these dimensions will play an important role in our understanding of mind wandering. One dimension that has received considerable attention in recent work is the intentionality of mind wandering. Although it has been claimed that indexing the intentionality of mind wandering will be necessary if researchers are to obtain a coherent understanding of the wandering mind, one concern is that this dimension might be redundant with another, longstanding, dimension: namely, meta-awareness. Thus, the utility of the argument for assessing intentionality rests upon a demonstration that this dimension is distinct from the meta-awareness dimension. To shed light on this issue, across two studies we compared and contrasted these dimensions to determine whether they are redundant or distinct. In both studies, we found support for the view that these dimensions are distinct. 相似文献

School nurses are at the intersection of the healthcare and school communities, thus, they can be considered opinion leaders in providing health advice – including information about the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine – to parents and students. This study examined school nurses’ attitudes toward the HPV vaccine based on age, years as a school nurse, geographic location, urban vs. rural work setting, HPV and vaccine knowledge, perception of role as opinion leaders, and school district support in providing health education. Participants (n = 413) were systematically sampled from the National Association of School Nurses’ membership and completed a web-based survey. Multiple regression was used to predict positive HPV vaccine attitudes. The model was statistically significant accounting for 50.8% of the variance (F [9, 400] = 45.96, p < .001). Positive attitudes regarding the HPV vaccine were predicted by higher HPV and vaccine knowledge (β = .096, p < .001) and stronger perceptions of role as opinion leaders for the vaccine (β = .665, p < .001). No other variables were found to be statistically significant. These results suggest knowledge is essential in predicting positive attitudes, but not the strongest predictor as perceptions of role as opinion leaders was more crucial in terms of predicting school nurses’ positive attitudes towards HPV vaccine. Despite school nurses being seen as champions for adolescent vaccines, they need additional professional development to increase their HPV vaccine knowledge and attitudes to encourage parents and adolescents to consider the uptake of HPV vaccination. To engage school nurses’ in promoting HPV vaccine uptake, interventions need to focus on increasing school nurses’ perception of their role as opinion leaders for HPV vaccine and knowledge to increase positive attitudes towards HPV vaccination for youth. 相似文献

Ralph Weber 《Frontiers of Philosophy in China》2013,8(1):99
Chinese philosophy in the twentieth century has often been related to some sort of cultural or other particularism or some sort of philosophical universalism. By and large, these still seem to be the terms along which academic debates are carried out. The tension is particularly manifest in notions such as “Chinese philosophy,” “Daoist cosmology,” “Neo-Confucian idealism,” or “Chinese metaphysics.” For some, “Chinese metaphysics” may be a blatant contradictio in adiecto, while others may find it a most ordinary topic to be discussed at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In this article, I set out to examine two major discourses in which talk about “metaphysics” is frequent and popular and to which talk of “Chinese metaphysics” may wish to contribute: the history of philosophy and analytic philosophy. My contention is that it is usually far from obvious what reasons are behind putting “Chinese metaphysics” on the academic agenda and to what precise purpose this is done. What my discussion seeks to highlight is the as yet often largely unarticulated dimension of the politics of comparative philosophy—of which talk about “Chinese metaphysics” may but need not be an example. 相似文献

The possibility that during Chinese reading information is extracted at the beginning of the current fixation was examined in this study. Twenty-four participants read for comprehension while their eye movements were being recorded. A pretarget-target two-character word pair was embedded in each sentence and target word visibility was manipulated in two time intervals (initial 140 ms or after 140 ms) during pretarget viewing. Substantial beginning- and end-of-fixation preview effects were observed together with beginning-of-fixation effects on the pretarget. Apparently parafoveal information at least at the character level can be extracted relatively early during ongoing fixations. Results are highly relevant for ongoing debates on spatially distributed linguistic processing and address fundamental questions about how the human mind solves the task of reading within the constraints of different writing systems. 相似文献

Anatomically selective medial prefrontal cortical projections regulate the extinction of stimulus–reinforcement associations, but the mechanisms underlying extinction of an instrumental response for reward are less well-defined and may involve structures that regulate goal-directed action. We show brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) knock-down in the prelimbic, but not orbitofrontal, cortex accelerates the initial extinction of instrumental responding for food and reduces striatal BDNF protein. When knock-down mice were provided with alternative response options to readily obtain reinforcement, extinction of the previously reinforced response was unaffected, consistent with the hypothesis that the prelimbic cortex promotes instrumental action, particularly when reinforcement is uncertain or unavailable.The rodent medial prefrontal cortex contains cytoarchitectonically distinct subregions that can be differentiated based on efferent and afferent projection patterns, with dorsal regions—including the dorsal prelimbic cortex (PLc)—sharing similar functions that differ from those of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which includes the medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC) and infralimbic cortex. These dorsal/ventral networks are considered “go” and “stop” systems, respectively, that coincidentally guide behavior (Heidbreder and Groenewegen 2003). For example, the PLc is essential for maintaining instrumental responding for food when reinforcement is uncertain (Corbit and Balleine 2003; Gourley et al. 2008a). By contrast, ventromedial structures are associated with response inhibition, particularly in the context of stimulus–reinforcement associations (Heidbreder and Groenewegen 2003).We explore the hypothesis that the PLc may also promote goal-directed responding in the absence of reinforcement, thereby slowing the extinction of a previously reinforced instrumental response. If this is the case, diminution of the biological factors essential for activity-dependent neuroplasticity and cytoskeletal structure within the PLc might be expected to shift the balance between a dorsal “go” network and ventral “stop” network. The consequence would be a rapid decline in instrumental responding during extinction training. Indeed, we report that such a manipulation—virally knocking down BDNF, which promotes long-term potentiation (Kang and Schuman 1995; Korte et al. 1995, 1996; Patterson et al. 1996) and neuronal outgrowth (McAllister et al. 1995, 1996; Xu et al. 2000a,b; Gorski et al. 2003)—within the PLc facilitates the extinction of instrumental action.In the first experiment, group-housed ≥10 wk-old male mice bred in-house and homozygous for a floxed bdnf gene (Rios et al. 2001) were anaesthetized with 1:1 2-methyl-2-butanol and tribromoethanol (Sigma Aldrich) diluted 40-fold with saline. Mice were infused into the PLc (+2.0AP, −2.8DV, ±0.1ML) with an adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) ± Cre. With needles (Hamilton Co.) centered at bregma, stereotaxic coordinates were located using Kopf''s digital coordinate system with 1/100-mm resolution (David Kopf Instruments). Viral constructs were infused over 5 min with 0.5 μL/hemisphere; needles were left in place for an additional 4 min. Mice were allowed to recover for at least 2 wk, allowing for viral-mediated gene knock-down (Berton et al. 2006; Graham et al. 2007; Unger et al. 2007). All procedures were Yale University Animal Care and Use Committee approved.Mice were then food-restricted (90-min access/day) and trained to perform an instrumental response (nose poke) for food reinforcement using Med-Associates operant conditioning chambers controlled by Med-Associates software. These 25-min training sessions were conducted daily, and one, two, or three responses on one of three apertures were reinforced with a 20-mg grain-based food pellet (variable ratio 2 schedule of reinforcement; Bioserv). Two-factor (knock-down × session) analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures (RM) indicated bdnf knock-down did not affect the acquisition of instrumental responding (main effect of infusion and infusion × session interaction Fs < 1) (Fig. 1A).Open in a separate windowFigure 1.PLc bdnf knock-down decreases instrumental responding in extinction. (A) Viral-mediated PLc bdnf knock-down had no effects on the acquisition of an instrumental response for food. Responses made on the active aperture are shown (left). Responding in extinction was, however, diminished during the first extinction session (right). The break in the extinction curve represents the passage of 1 d. (B) A second group of mice was trained to respond for food before viral construct infusion. Responding during reacquisition reminder sessions after recovery was unaffected, but extinction was again immediately facilitated, as indicated by fewer responses made during sessions 1 and 2. Representative EGFP spread is inset. (C) As a control measure, this experiment was replicated in mice initially trained to perform the task, then given a mOFC, rather than PLc, bdnf knock-down. Although reinforced responding during reacquisition was diminished, responding during extinction was unchanged. Representative EGFP spread is inset. (D) In a reversal task, PLc bdnf knock-down mice did not differ in their ability to “reverse” their responding on an aperture on the opposite side of the chamber; response inhibition—extinction of responding on the previously active aperture—under these circumstances was also unchanged. (E) An enlarged EGFP image is shown (taken from inside the white box in C). EGFP radiates laterally from the infusion site, and the medial wall of the PFC can be seen at left. Symbols represent means (+ SEM) per group (*P < 0.05; †P = 0.07). Arrows indicate the time of knock-down, relative to testing sessions.Response extinction was then tested with 10 15-min nonreinforced sessions (five sessions/day). Here, responses made on the previously active aperture declined as expected (F(9,72) = 6.7, P < 0.001). An interaction between group and session for responses on the active aperture was also identified (F(9,72) = 2.3, P = 0.03). Tukey''s post-hoc tests indicated responses made during session 1 were reduced in knock-down mice (P = 0.002) (Fig. 1A). Responses made during session 2 were reduced at a trend level of significance (P = 0.07), but responding during other sessions did not differ (all Ps > 0.3), suggesting PLc bdnf knock-down facilitated initial response suppression, but not necessarily the consolidation or expression of extinction learning (Rescorla and Heth 1975).Because knock-down could conceivably regulate extinction processes via effects on initial instrumental conditioning, we trained another group of mice to perform the response prior to knock-down. Mice were then matched based on responses made during training, and surgery proceeded. After recovery, mice were given three “reacquisition” sessions identical to training sessions, during which no differences were found for responses made on the reinforced aperture (main effect of group and interaction Fs < 1) (Fig. 1B). When reinforcement was withheld, however, bdnf knock-down mice again made fewer responses relative to control mice during sessions 1 and 2 (interaction F(9,135) = 2.3, P = 0.02; post-hoc Ps < 0.01) but not later sessions (Fig. 1B). These data further support our conclusion that PLc bdnf knock-down decreases instrumental responding during the early phases of extinction, but do not indicate whether this effect is behaviorally or anatomically specific. In this group, post-mortem EGFP distribution indicated two mice had only unilateral bdnf knock-down; these animals were excluded.To address anatomical specificity, we replicated this experiment with bdnf knocked down in the ventrally situated mOFC. This site was chosen over the infralimbic cortex because we had greater confidence we could achieve anatomically selective knock-down in this larger region. Viral constructs were infused over 3 min with 0.25 μL/hemisphere and needles aimed AP +2.3, DV −3.0, ML ±0.1 and left in place for an additional 4 min. During reacquisition, a main effect of group on responses made on the active aperture indicated mOFC bdnf knock-down, unlike PLc bdnf knock-down, decreased reinforced responding (F(1,9) = 7.9, P = 0.02; interaction F < 1) (Fig. 1C). No effects of knock-down were, however, detected for responses made during extinction testing (group and interaction Fs < 1) (Fig. 1C). This profile is distinct from PLc bdnf knock-down mice, in which nonreinforced, but not reinforced, responding was affected. In this group, one animal with unilateral bdnf knock-down was excluded.To address behavioral specificity, mice from Figure 1B were retrained until responding for food on the active aperture was reinstated. Then, the location of the active aperture was “reversed,” such that the previously nonreinforced aperture on the opposite side of the chamber wall was reinforced. In other words, mice trained to respond on the right-side aperture were now reinforced for responding on the left-side aperture and vice versa. This “reversal” procedure allowed us to test whether PLc bdnf knock-down facilitates extinction when reinforcement is available upon the acquisition of an alternative response. We used a highly reinforcing variable ratio 2 schedule, and test sessions lasted 45 min.Under these conditions, bdnf knock-down and control mice did not differ, responding on both the previously reinforced and the newly reinforced apertures to the same degree as control mice (main effect of genotype on nonreinforced responding F(1,14) = 1.9, P = 0.2; reinforced responding F < 1; group × session interaction F < 1) (Fig. 1D). In other words, PLc bdnf knock-down mice showed exaggerated response inhibition in the absence of reinforcement, but not when a competing response to obtain food reinforcement was available. Main effects of session on responses made on the active and inactive apertures indicated mice acquired the “reversal” (F(3,45) = 15.2, P < 0.001; F(3,45) = 5.7, P = 0.002, respectively).In a final behavioral experiment, male group-housed C57BL/6J mice (Charles River Laboratories, Kingston, New York), also ≥10 wk of age at the start of the experiment, were trained and infused with BDNF to evaluate whether acute PLc BDNF infusion produced the opposite effects of gene knock-down: slowed extinction. Human recombinant BDNF (Chemicon) dissolved in sterile saline in a concentration of 0.4 μg/μL (Gourley et al. 2008b) was used, with 0.2 μL/site at AP +2.0, DV −2.5, ML ±0.1 (Gourley et al. 2008a) infused over 2 min with needles left in place for 2 min after infusion.Several studies indicate BDNF has behavioral effects for several days after infusion into the striatum (Horger et al. 1999), ventral tegmental area (Lu et al. 2004), hippocampus (Shirayama et al. 2002; Gourley et al. 2008b), and prefrontal cortex (Berglind et al. 2007, 2009). Therefore, we utilized a single-infusion protocol: Food restriction resumed on day 5 after surgery, at which point mice appeared active. Testing resumed on day 7, at which point mice were subjected to three nonreinforced test sessions. bdnf knock-down mice were affected during the first and second sessions only, so this protocol would be expected to capture the window during which BDNF had effects, if any. These mice showed the typical reduction of responding across sessions (F(2,14) = 8.6, P = 0.004) (Fig. 2). It is worth noting that responding in control mice was lower than in previous experiments; this is likely due to the more limited recovery and food restriction time after surgery. Nonetheless, we found no effect of BDNF on responding (F < 1; infusion × session interaction F(2,14) = 1.4, P = 0.3).Open in a separate windowFigure 2.Effects of PLc BDNF microinfusion. Mice were initially trained to perform the nose poke response for food. Responses on the active aperture during training are shown at left. Mice were then infused with BDNF; subsequent instrumental responding during extinction was unaffected. (Inset) Adrenal glands were extracted and weighed after the last extinction session as a measure expected to be sensitive to PLc manipulations. Here, BDNF decreased gland weights (represented as the weight of both glands normalized to total body weight). Symbols represent means (+ SEM) per group, *P < 0.05.To verify a physiological response to PLc BDNF infusions (despite a lack of behavioral effect), we rapidly euthanized mice after the last session and extracted and weighed the adrenal glands, which secrete the hormone, corticosterone. Corticosterone secretion is sensitive to medial prefrontal cortex lesions (Diorio et al. 1993; Rangel et al. 2003) and noradrenergic depletion (Radley et al. 2008), and adrenal weights correlate with PLc BDNF expression levels (Gourley et al. 2008a). As expected, BDNF-infused mice had lighter adrenal glands (t(10) = 4.2, P = 0.002) (Fig. 2), indicating effects of BDNF infusion were detectable on this measure, though not on response diminution per se.Local bdnf knock-down could conceivably act in part by retarding anterograde BDNF transport to, or BDNF synthesis in, major PLc projections sites (Sobreviela et al. 1996; Altar et al. 1997; Conner et al. 1997; Kokaia et al. 1998). BDNF in those projection regions—the dorsal and ventral striatum and multiple hypothalamic subregions (Öngür and Price 2000)—as well as in the PLc itself, was therefore quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; Promega) in knock-down, control, and BDNF-infused mice.Brains were rapidly harvested from extinguished mice in Figures 1A and and2,2, and frozen and sliced into 1-mm-thick coronal sections. Brain regions were dissected bilaterally or with a single midline extraction by tissue punch (1.2-mm diameter). Tissue was then sonicated in lysis buffer (200 μL: 137 mM NaCl, 20 mM tris-Hcl [pH 8], 1% igepal, 10% glycerol, 1:100 Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktails 1 and 2; Sigma) and stored at −80°C. ELISAs were conducted using 65 μL/sample/well and in accordance with manufacturer''s instructions. BDNF concentrations were normalized to each sample''s total protein concentration, as determined by Bradford colorimetric protein assay (Pierce). BDNF was analyzed by ANOVA or ANOVA-on-Ranks for non-normally distributed PLc values.In the PLc, BDNF was diminished in bdnf knock-down mice as expected (H(2,18) = 0.2, P = 0.006, post-hoc Ps < 0.05), but BDNF expression in BDNF-infused mice did not differ from the control group (P > 0.05) (Fig. 3A). BDNF in the hypothalamus (F(2,19) = 2.6, P = 0.1) and nucleus accumbens (F < 1) was not affected. By contrast, dorsal (primarily dorsomedial) striatal BDNF expression differed between groups (F(2,20) = 5.4, P = 0.01), with knock-down mice expressing less BDNF than the BDNF-infused group (P = 0.01). BDNF in knock-down mice did not, however, significantly differ from control mice (P = 0.09).Open in a separate windowFigure 3.Quantification of BDNF in the PLc, dentate gyrus, and downstream projection sites. (A) BDNF was quantified in the PLc and major projection sites after viral-mediated gene knock-down or acute microinfusion. BDNF was diminished in the PLc of knock-down mice as expected. BDNF was also reduced in the dorsal striatum (dstri) of these animals, while other regions were unaffected by this manipulation. NAC refers to the nucleus accumbens. (B) To confirm the effects of acute BDNF infusion could be detected under some circumstances, tissue from mice infused with BDNF into the dentate gyrus (dentate) was also analyzed. Under these circumstances, elevated BDNF was detected in the hypothalamus. *P < 0.05 relative to control and BDNF-infused groups; §P < 0.05 relative to BDNF-infused mice; and P = 0.09 relative to control mice.For additional analyses, we conducted ELISAs on tissue from drug-naïve mice that had had a BDNF infusion of the same volume and concentration in the dorsal hippocampus, rather than PLc. As here, these animals had been subsequently tested in an instrumental conditioning task and were sacrificed 7 d after infusion (for behavioral reports, see Fig. 4 in Gourley et al. 2008b). Like the PLc, the hippocampus projects to the striatum and hypothalamus (Groenewegen et al. 1987; Kishi et al. 2000). In this instance of acute hippocampal infusion, BDNF expression was increased in hypothalamic samples (infusion × brain region interaction F(3,27) = 3.5, P = 0.03, post-hoc P = 0.009), consistent with previous findings (Sobreviela et al. 1996). Other regions were not affected (Ps > 0.6) (Fig. 3B).Taken together, these data indicate long-term distal effects of acute BDNF infusion are detectable when BDNF is infused into the dorsal hippocampus, though not necessarily PLc. Our data do not preclude the possibility, however, that acute PLc BDNF infusion has long-term consequences for BDNF-regulated intracellular signaling cascades in these downstream sites. For example, extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation in the nucleus accumbens is enhanced by single BDNF infusions aimed at the anterior cingulate/PLc border (Berglind et al. 2007).To summarize, we provide evidence for decreased responding in instrumentally trained mice with PLc-selective bdnf knock-down tested in extinction. Recall of extinction learning did not appear to be affected, as group differences were restricted to test sessions 1 and 2. Time of instrumental training was not a factor, as mice trained to respond for food both before and after knock-down showed a characteristically rapid decline in responding when reinforcement was withheld.Testing mice in a spatial “reversal” task, in which mice learn simultaneously to inhibit responding on one operant and respond instead on a previously nonreinforced operant, eliminated differences in nonreinforced responding between groups. In other words, in the presence of positive reinforcement, knock-down mice did not show exaggerated response inhibition. This behavioral pattern is consistent with the PLc''s role in maintaining goal-directed action particularly under low-reinforcement conditions (Corbit and Balleine 2003; Gourley et al. 2008a). If PLc bdnf played a more general role in extinction learning, one would expect PLc bdnf knock-down mice to show rapid response diminution regardless of whether reinforcement was readily available or not, but our reversal experiment clearly illustrated this was not the case.BDNF ELISA indicated the gene knock-down protocol utilized here results in an ∼48% reduction in BDNF within the PLc and a modest reduction in the downstream dorsal striatum, providing direct evidence for effects of bdnf knock-down on PLc projection neurons (though local interneurons would also be expected to have been infected). Such effects on striatal BDNF expression may be selective to chronic manipulations, as our acute infusion protocol had no consequences for expression in downstream regions, despite actions on a peripheral measure (adrenal gland weight) and evidence of downstream effects after hippocampal infusion.While we report bdnf knock-down rapidly decreased responding early in extinction, we found that acute BDNF infusion had no effects. How might we reconcile these findings? First, it is possible that prefrontal BDNF overexpression must be chronic to have behavioral effects in this task. Second, supraphysiological BDNF-induced structural destabilization and neuronal remodeling (Horch et al. 1999; Horch and Katz 2002) or activation of cortical interneurons (Rutherford et al. 1998) may have counteracted any effects on extinction. Cortical interneuron activation in particular—a process thought to stabilize cortical activity to maintain homeostasis in local circuits—could conceivably negate any effects of BDNF infusion on prefrontal projection neurons (cf., Turrigiano and Nelson 2004; see also Berglind et al. 2007). Last, while single prefrontal BDNF infusions have been reported to suppress cue-induced drug-seeking behavior (Berglind et al. 2007, 2009), such effects may be more acute and/or selectively mediated by Pavlovian, rather than instrumental, processes.Traditionally, extinction research has focused on Pavlovian fear extinction, in which the infralimbic cortex, and not PLc, is considered the major regulatory site (Quirk and Mueller 2008). Our findings suggest the PLc may, however, be indirectly involved in instrumental extinction, as bdnf knock-down facilitated rapid response diminution in the absence of reinforcement, but not when a competing response was reinforced. These findings are consistent with the idea that under normal circumstances, the PLc invigorates responding by maintaining sensitivity to reinforcement previously available upon completion of a particular instrumental action (Corbit and Balleine 2003) or previously associated with a Pavlovian cue (Vidal-Gonzalez et al. 2006). Future studies will address whether PLc BDNF is indeed critical to the maintenance of action–outcome behavior, since the mechanisms of goal-directedness are not well-characterized. This is despite the possibility that their identification may aid in therapeutically facilitating goal-directed action when response extinction is an unproductive behavioral choice. 相似文献
