Parallel information processing in the dorsal striatum: relation to hippocampal function.
Bryan D. Devan,Norman M. White +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the hippocampus and medial CPu may be parts of a system that promotes responding based on learned cognitive–spatial information, particularly in competitive cue–place response situations.

Effects of medial and lateral caudate-putamen lesions on place- and cue-guided behaviors in the water maze: relation to thigmotaxis
TL;DR: The results suggest that the dorsomedial caudate-putamen, by virtue of its connections with limbic and prefrontal cortical regions, may mediate a response selection process that integrates cognitive information with stimulus-response tendencies.

Circadian phase-shifted rats show normal acquisition but impaired long-term retention of place information in the water task
Bryan D. Devan,Emily H. Goad,T. Herbert L. Petri,T. Elena A. Antoniadis,Nancy S. Hong,Caroline H. Ko,Lucie Leblanc,Shoshana S. Lebovic,Queenie Lo,Martin R. Ralph,Robert J. McDonald +10 more
TL;DR: The results showed that phase-shifting circadian rhythms in rats impaired the expression of place information on a retention test but not initial acquisition or encoding of place Information, suggesting that disruption of circadian rhythms may impair consolidation of previously encoded hippocampal place information.

Parallel associative processing in the dorsal striatum: segregation of stimulus-response and cognitive control subregions.
TL;DR: Evidence indicating that the dorsolateral striatum is a substrate for stimulus-response habit formation - incremental strengthening of simple S-R bonds - via input from sensorimotor neocortex is reviewed.

Phosphodiesterase inhibition by sildenafil citrate attenuates the learning impairment induced by blockade of cholinergic muscarinic receptors in rats.
Bryan D. Devan,Demetrio Sierra-Mercado,Mariana Jimenez,Jonna L. Bowker,Kara B. Duffy,Edward L. Spangler,Donald K. Ingram +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that sildenafil citrate may serve as a cognitive enhancer for therapeutic treatment of cholinergic dysfunction in age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's dementia (AD).
