The convolutions of the story are less important than the vigor of the performances, and the movie wears its attenuated political relevance lightly.
This pattern of results suggested that the functional roles of the NAc and orbital frontal cortex in checking behavior are to control the vigor of motor performance and the focus on goal-directed activity, respectively (Dvorkin et al., 2010).
Here, we showed that, without quinpirole, compulsive checking behavior is reconstituted from the simultaneous effects of bilateral lesions to the NAc (which exaggerated predominantly the vigor of checking performance and satiety) and treatment with DPAT (which increased predominantly the focus on the task of checking).
A previous analysis of the quinpirole sensitisation rat model of obsessive-compulsive disorder revealed that the behavioral phenotype of compulsive checking consists of three constitutive components – vigor of checking performance, focus on the task of checking, and satiety following a bout of checking.
That analysis of the quinpirole sensitisation rat model of OCD reported that the model compulsive behavior consisted of at least three partially independent processes, all greatly exaggerated by quinpirole – vigor of checking performance, focus on the task of checking, and satiety following a bout of checking (Dvorkin et al., 2010).
But the clarinet solo was beautifully and expressively played and provided an example that may have been responsible for instilling some vigor and suppleness into the rest of the performance.
