ABSTRACT
The present review describes a role for the dorsal striatum in extinction. Evidence from brain lesion and pharmacological studies indicate that the dorsolateral region of the striatum (DLS) mediates extinction in various maze learning and instrumental learning tasks. Within the context of a multiple memory systems view, the role of the DLS in extinction appears to be selective. Specifically, the DLS mediates extinction of habit memory and is not required for extinction of cognitive memory. Thus, extinction mechanisms mediated by the DLS may involve response-produced inhibition (e.g. inhibition of existing stimulus-response associations or formation of new inhibitory stimulus-response associations), as opposed to cognitive mechanisms (e.g. changes in expectation). Evidence also suggests that NMDA-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity may be part of the mechanism through which the DLS mediates extinction of habit memory. In addition, in some learning situations, DLS inactivation enhances extinction, suggesting a competitive interaction between multiple memory systems during extinction training. Consistent with a multiple memory systems perspective, it is suggested that the DLS represents one of several distinct neural systems that specialize in extinction of different kinds of memory. The relevance of these findings to the development of behavioral and pharmacological therapies that target the maladaptive habit-like symptoms in human psychopathology is also briefly considered.
3 INTRODUCTION The dorsal striatum of the mammalian brain is part of a group of midbrain structures called the basal ganglia. The dorsal striatum, along with the ventral striatum, is the major input structure of the basal ganglia motor loop, and thus has been classically regarded as an important brain structure for controlling movement (Albin et al., 1989; Mink et al., 1996; Redgrave et al., 1999). However, in the latter half of the 20th century, evidence began to surface indicating that the dorsal striatum also mediates specific kinds of memory (for reviews, see Packard, 2001; Packard and Knowlton, 2002; White, 2009). In terms of its mnemonic function, the dorsal striatum is functionally heterogeneous (Yin and Knowlton, 2006; Devan et al., 2011; Goodman and Packard, 2017). The dorsolateral region of the striatum (DLS) mediates associations between stimuli and responses, i.e. stimulus-response (S-R) learning, as well as acquisition and expression of habitual behavior and egocentric navigation (Packard and Knowlton, 2002). In contrast, the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) mediates associations between actions and outcomes, i.e. action-outcome learning, as well as allocentric spatial navigation and cognitive flexibility (Devan et al., 2011). Differences in the mnemonic functions of these brain regions may be attributed to their distinct input/output pathways (Voorn et al., 2004). The DLS primarily receives input from sensorimotor areas of the cortex, whereas the DMS is innervated by cortical visual/associative areas, as well as subcortical limbic regions mediating emotional and cognitive memory processes, such as the amygdala and hippocampus (Groenewegen et al., 1987; Kelley and Domesick, 1982; Kelley et al., 1982; Lopez-Figuero et al., 1995; McGeorge and Faull, 1989).
4 Although studies on dorsal striatal memory functions have primarily focused on acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of memory, there is increasing evidence that the dorsal striatum also mediates extinction behavior. Extinction occurs following initial acquisition of a memory, when the original reinforcement is withdrawn, resulting in a decrement of the previously reinforced response. Extinction does not reflect erasure of the original memory, but rather involves new extinction learning which interferes with the old memory (Bouton, 2004; Dunsmoor et al., 2016). The present paper reviews the role of the dorsal striatum in extinction across maze learning and instrumental learning tasks. Evidence specifically implicating the medial region of the dorsal striatum in extinction is limited, and therefore the present review focuses on experiments involving the DLS. Based on these studies, it is inferred that extinction mechanisms subserved by the DLS involve response-produced inhibition (i.e. a mechanism whereby performance of the response during extinction training is necessary to produce a response decrement). In addition, evidence is presented suggesting that the DLS selectively mediates extinction of habit memory. These findings are considered within a multiple memory systems view of extinction. Finally, the relevance of these findings to treating some human psychopathologies is considered, in particular those involving dysfunctional habitual behaviors mediated in part by the DLS.
THE DORSAL STRIATUM AND EXTINCTION: EARLY STUDIES Although the majority of studies examining the role of the dorsal striatum in extinction have been conducted over the past few decades, these recent studies were preceded by a handful of experiments suggesting a role for this brain region in extinction across a range of tasks. For
5 instance, early evidence in monkeys indicated that lesions of the dorsal striatum impaired extinction of instrumental bar-pressing behavior (Butters and Rosvold, 1968; Thompson, 1963). In addition, lesion or electrical stimulation of the dorsal striatum impaired extinction of classically conditioned alimentary responses in cats and dogs (Baranov, 1977; Denisova, 1972, 1981; for a more recent study, see Makarova, 2001), and electrolytic lesions of the dorsal striatum impaired extinction of spatial reversal learning in rats (Kolb, 1977). Electrical stimulation or lesions of the dorsal striatum similarly disrupted instrumental learning and conditioned avoidance responses in rats (Herz and Peeke, 1971; Sanberg, Pisa, and Fibiger, 1978; Schmaltz and Isaacson, 1972; Suvorov, Ermolenko, and Zhodzhaeva, 1974). These early studies provided evidence that manipulating dorsal striatal function impaired extinction learning in some tasks; however, they contained limitations. For instance, lesions were typically made before initial acquisition of the task. Thus, it remains uncertain whether impaired extinction may be attributed directly to an effect on extinction learning, or indirectly via the impairing effect on initial task acquisition (e.g. Herz and Peeke, 1971; Schmaltz and Isaacson, 1972; Kolb, 1977; Sanberg et al., 1978). In addition, manipulations of the dorsal striatum were extensive, incorporating both medial and lateral aspects of the brain region. Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether functional heterogeneity may exist when examining the role of the dorsal striatum in extinction. More recent studies conducted in maze learning, instrumental learning, and conditioned place preference experiments have typically employed updated methodologies to circumvent these issues, while taking into account potential regional differences in dorsal striatal function.
6 EXTINCTION OF MAZE LEARNING Several experiments indicate that the dorsal striatum mediates extinction in a variety of maze learning tasks. In a straight alley maze, rats are trained to traverse a straight path to obtain a food reinforcer at the opposite end of the maze. Over the course of training, animals display a decline in runway latencies to reach the goal end, indicating successful acquisition of the task. For extinction training, the food reinforcer is removed, and over time the runway latencies increase, indicating extinction. Permanent electrolytic lesions conducted before acquisition training and incorporating both medial and lateral aspects of the dorsal striatum impair extinction in the straight alley maze (Thullier et al., 1996). A similar impairment in extinction of straight alley maze performance was also observed using pre-acquisition kainic-acid induced lesions confined to the DLS, but no effect on extinction was observed with DMS lesions (Dunnett and Iversen, 1981). It should be noted that the DLS lesions also impaired acquisition in the straight alley maze (Dunnett and Iversen, 1981). Thus, based on these findings, it is difficult to determine whether the effect of DLS lesions on extinction in the straight alley maze can be attributed to prior differences in initial task acquisition. These findings suggest that the DLS may be involved in straight alley maze extinction, but do not identify the extinction mechanisms through which the DLS operates. According to the S-R view of extinction (Hull, 1942), upon removal of the reinforcer, stimuli in the learning environment may activate inhibition of the running approach response. Similar to other theories of extinction learning involving response-produced inhibition (Hulse, Egeth, and Deese, 1975), the subject must make the original running response during extinction training for the inhibitory S-R association to be acquired. On the other hand, cognitive mechanisms may be involved in extinction to the extent that the animal learns to associate the original goal location with the
7 absence of reinforcement, resulting in a change in expectation (Tolman, 1932). Contrary to the S-R view of extinction, this change in expectation can be acquired without performing the original response, a phenomenon termed “latent extinction” (Seward and Levy, 1949). Response- or cognitive-based extinction procedures may effectively produce a response decrement in the straight alley maze. For response extinction, animals are released from the original start position and have the opportunity to perform the original running response to the empty goal location. For latent extinction (a cognitive form of extinction training), animals are confined to the original goal location without food. Upon returning to the start position, animals that previously received latent extinction show greater latencies to approach the goal location, suggesting a change in expectation (i.e. expecting the absence of reinforcement; Seward and Levy, 1949). Reversibly inactivating the DLS with the sodium channel blocker bupivacaine prior to each session of extinction training attenuates the increase in runway latencies during response extinction training, but does not influence the effectiveness of latent extinction training (Goodman, Gabriele, and Packard, 2017). These results suggest that DLS function is required for extinction mechanisms involving response-produced inhibition (e.g. inhibitory S-R associations), but not for cognitive extinction mechanisms (e.g. changes in expectation regarding the absence of reinforcement). In addition, the use of reversible DLS inactivation immediately prior to extinction training rules out the possibility that impaired extinction may be attributed to DLS influencing initial task acquisition. Regarding the neurobiology of latent extinction, evidence indicates a role for hippocampal function (Gabriele and Packard, 2006; Goodman, Gabriele, and Packard, 2016). However, the hippocampus, as well as the DMS, are not required for response extinction in the
8 straight alley maze (Gabriele and Packard, 2006; Dunnett and Iversen, 1981). Taken together, these findings demonstrate a double dissociation, in which the DLS mediates response extinction but not latent extinction, and the hippocampus mediates latent extinction but not response extinction. Thus, it may be speculated that the DLS and hippocampus promote extinction via different learning mechanisms, the former through response-produced inhibition and the latter through changes in expectation. The precise nature of the individual extinction mechanisms mediated by the DLS and hippocampus in this task requires further investigation. In addition to the straight alley maze, the dorsal striatum may also mediate extinction in the T-maze. This task involves a maze with three arms arranged in a “T” formation. For each trial, the rat is placed into the start arm of the maze and may retrieve food reinforcement by making a consistent body turn (i.e. a right or left turn) at the intersection of the maze to enter a consistently reinforced goal arm. Pre-acquisition kainic acid-induced lesions of the DLS or DMS impaired both acquisition and extinction in the T-maze (Dunnett and Iversen, 1981). In a modified water-maze version of the T-maze, rats are trained to make a consistent body turn at the choice point to enter a goal arm that contains a submerged platform, which the animal can mount to escape the water. The DLS was inactivated immediately after extinction training in this task (Campus et al., 2015). Post-training drug administration targets memory consolidation (McGaugh, 2000), i.e. the process through which a labile short-term memory is transformed into a long-term memory trace. Thus, animals that had received post-training DLS inactivation with the GABA-A agonist muscimol demonstrated lower latencies to the previously reinforced goal location compared to control animals, indicating that consolidation of the extinction memory was impaired (Campus et al., 2015). In addition, since the DLS was temporarily inactivated after extinction training, the observed impairment may not be attributed to a potential effect of DLS
9 inactivation on non-mnemonic factors occurring during extinction training or the retrieval test (e.g. motor performance, sensory processing, motivation, etc.).
EXTINCTION OF HABIT MEMORY The straight alley maze and T-maze experiments discussed above have revealed a role for the DLS in the acquisition and consolidation of extinction memory. However, the kind of memory underlying initial acquisition in the straight alley maze and T-maze remains unknown. It is possible that during initial acquisition in these tasks, animals learn (1) the allocentric spatial location of the goal (i.e. a place strategy), (2) a habitual running/turning response (i.e. an S-R strategy), or (3) memory incorporating both spatial and S-R information. As the kind of memory undergoing extinction in these tasks remains unspecified, it is difficult to determine whether the role of the DLS in extinction is selective for a specific kind of memory. To examine the potential selectivity of the DLS in extinction, rats were trained in a pair of plus-maze tasks, i.e. a response learning task and a place learning task, each of which requires acquisition of a specific kind of memory (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2016). In a response learning task, rats were released from opposite starting locations (i.e. North and South arms) throughout initial acquisition and were reinforced to make a consistent body-turn at the choice point (i.e. a left turn) to retrieve food reinforcement from one of the goal arms (East or West). Response learning involves acquisition of an egocentric turning response and requires DLS function, but not hippocampal function (Asem and Holland, 2015; Chang and Gold, 2003, 2004; Compton, 2004; Packard and McGaugh, 1996; Yin and Knowlton, 2004). A separate group of rats were trained in a place learning task, in which animals were similarly released from opposite starting positions, while food reinforcement remained in a consistent goal location. This task
10 requires memory for the spatial location of the food reinforcer in order to navigate from different starting positions to the goal. Previous evidence indicates that place learning in the plus-maze involves hippocampal function, but not DLS function (Chang and Gold, 2003; Compton, 2004; Packard and McGaugh, 1996; Schroeder, Wingard, and Packard, 2002). Following acquisition in the DLS-dependent response learning task or hippocampusdependent place learning task, rats underwent extinction training. Immediately after extinction training, the DLS was inactivated with bupivacaine and 24 hours later rats were subjected to a second day of extinction training to probe the effects of prior DLS inactivation. Post-training DLS inactivation blocked consolidation of extinction in the response learning task, but not in the place learning task (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2016). These findings suggest that the role of the DLS in extinction is selective to DLS-dependent habit memory and is not required for extinction of hippocampus-dependent cognitive memory. The selective role of the DLS in extinction of DLS-dependent habit memory may be helpful for interpreting the findings from prior T-maze and straight alley maze experiments. Initial acquisition of the T-maze and straight alley maze may involve both DLS- and hippocampus-dependent memory processes (see Dunnett and Iversen, 1981; Kirkby, Polgar, and Coyle, 1981; Packard and McGaugh, 1996; Rawlins, Feldon, Ursin, and Gray, 1985). However, given the findings of the place and response learning experiments discussed above, it is possible that the impairing effect of DLS manipulations on extinction in the T-maze and straight alley maze tasks observed in earlier studies may be attributed to impaired extinction of DLSdependent habit memory, rather than hippocampus-dependent cognitive memory.
11 EXTINCTION OF DRUG-REINFORCED INSTRUMENTAL LEARNING AND CONDITIONED PLACE PREFERENCE BEHAVIOR In addition to maze learning tasks, early evidence indicates that the dorsal striatum is also involved in extinction of instrumental learning (Butters and Rosvold, 1968; Herz and Peeke, 1971; Sanberg, Pisa, and Fibiger, 1978; Schmaltz and Isaacson, 1972; Suvorov, Ermolenko, and Zhodzhaeva, 1974; Thompson, 1963). Although several early studies employed natural rewards as reinforcers, such as food and water, extensive recent evidence has indicated a role for the DLS in extinction of instrumental responding for addictive drugs. These experiments have employed self-administration paradigms, in which during initial acquisition animals learn to press a lever to self-administer an addictive drug. During subsequent extinction training, lever presses no longer result in drug infusions. Extinction of instrumental responding for cocaine or methamphetamine has been associated with multiple changes in dorsal striatal physiology. These changes include higher proenkephalin expression (Crespo et al., 2001), adaptations in D2 and A2A receptor binding (Frankowska et al., 2013), higher NMDA receptor expression (Ghasemzadeh et al., 2009a), increased expression of metabotropic glutamate receptors (Ghasemzadeh et al., 2009b; Schwendt et al., 2012), greater expression of PICK1 scaffolding protein (Ghasemzadeh et al., 2009a), and higher neurotensin levels (Hanson et al., 2013). In addition, suppression of the immediate early gene Arc in the DLS impairs extinction of cocaine self-administration (Hearing et al., 2011), suggesting a role for plasticity-related genes in the DLS. Disrupting function of metabotropic glutamate receptors in the DLS also impairs extinction of cocaine self-administration, which may be attributed to downstream disruption of DLS Arc expression (Knackstedt et al., 2014; Knackstedt and Schwendt, 2016). In possible contrast to studies suggesting involvement of the
12 DLS in extinction of drug-reinforced behavior, one study found that after prolonged drug abstinence, pre-training DLS inactivation was associated with a blockade of cocaine seeking during an initial drug free “relapse session” and blockade of “rebound” responding during subsequent extinction of cocaine-reinforced lever pressing (See, Elliott and Feltenstein, 2007). One limitation to these drug self-administration studies discussed above is that the precise kind of memory undergoing extinction remains unknown. As previously discussed for the straight alley maze and T-maze paradigms, drug self-administration may be acquired using different learning strategies (Dickinson, 1985). For instance, it is possible that (1) animals acquire a goal-directed strategy, in which they learn to press a lever to obtain the outcome (i.e. intravenous drug administration) or (2) animals may acquire a habit-based strategy, in which stimuli in the learning environment activate habitual lever pressing. Evidence indicates that habitual lever pressing depends on DLS function (Yin, Knowlton, and Balleine, 2004), whereas goal-directed lever pressing involves DMS or hippocampal function (Corbit and Balleine, 2000; Yin, Ostlund, Knowlton, and Balleine, 2005). Considering that the drug self-administration studies discussed above did not gauge whether initial acquisition was guided by a habitual or goal-directed strategy, it remains unknown whether the DLS was implicated in extinction of DLS-dependent habit memory or DMS/hippocampus-dependent cognitive memory. However, addictive drugs typically bias animals toward the use of a habit-based strategy over a goal-directed strategy in instrumental learning tasks (for review, see Goodman and Packard, 2016). Therefore, it is possible that the findings indicating a role for the DLS in extinction of drug self-administration might reflect the involvement of this brain region in extinction of DLS-dependent habit memory. In one study consistent with this idea, investigators trained rats to self-administer ethanol using either a goal-
13 directed or habit-based strategy (Klein, Fanelli, and Robinson, 2012). During extinction training, single-unit electrophysiological recordings indicated more phasic changes in neural firing in the DMS relative to the DLS in goal-directed rats, and more phasic changes in the DLS relative to the DMS in habitual rats. These findings suggest that the extent to which the DLS or DMS participates in extinction of drug-self administration depends on the memory system used during acquisition, similar to that observed in the plus-maze (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2016). In addition to drug-self administration studies, a potential role for the dorsal striatum in extinction of drug-related behavior has also been demonstrated in conditioned place preference (CPP) tasks. In drug-induced CPP, the affective consequences of an addictive drug are associated with one environment, whereas a control treatment is associated with another “neutral” environment. During a subsequent drug-free preference test, in which animals have the opportunity to freely explore both environments, rats typically show a preference for the context previously paired with the drug, suggesting animals had associated the rewarding properties of the drug with the environmental cues of the drug-paired compartment. Following acquisition, extinction of CPP can be produced by re-confining the animal to the preferred compartment without drug administration (Hsu and Packard, 2008; Hsu, Schroeder, and Packard, 2002; Schroeder and Packard, 2003). Whereas acquisition of a morphine CPP is associated with increased BDNF levels in the dorsal striatum, subsequent extinction in this task is associated with a decrease in dorsal striatal BDNF levels (Meng et al., 2013). In addition, extinction of a cocaine-induced CPP involves function of midkine neurotrophic factor and tyrosine phosphorylation of the peroxiredoxin 6 enzyme in the dorsal striatum (Gramage et al., 2013). It should be noted that these CPP studies did not examine whether there were regional differences across the medial and lateral aspects of the dorsal striatum, and thus it is not clear whether the
14 DLS and DMS are differentially involved in extinction of drug-induced CPP. Moreover, these CPP studies employed correlational analyses, and therefore do not reveal a causal role for the dorsal striatum in extinction of drug-induced CPP.
MULTIPLE MEMORY SYSTEMS AND EXTINCTION The dorsal striatum, hippocampus, and amygdala have been regarded as the central structures of distinct memory systems, in which the dorsal striatum mediates S-R/habit memory, the hippocampus mediates cognitive spatial memory, and the amygdala mediates stimulusaffect/emotional memories (White and McDonald, 2002; Squire, 2004; White, Packard, and McDonald, 2013). This multiple memory systems hypothesis has been primarily supported by extensive research examining initial acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of memory. However, there is evidence that extinction of memory also involves multiple memory systems. Indeed, experiments reviewed above suggest that the DLS selectively mediates extinction of habit memory, but not extinction of cognitive spatial memory (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2016) or extinction of conditioned fear (Wendler et al., 2014). Extinction of cognitive spatial memory is mediated in part by the hippocampus (Gabriele and Packard, 2006; Goodman, Gabriele, and Packard, 2016), whereas extinction of conditioned fear is mediated by a circuit involving the medial prefrontal cortex and amygdala, among other brain regions (Maren, 2015). Therefore, the DLS, hippocampus, and amygdala may represent the nodes of distinct neural systems that each support extinction of different kinds of memory. In addition, there may also be regional differences across the dorsal striatum itself. Although data specifically pertaining to the DMS are limited, in some learning situations the DMS and DLS are differentially implicated in extinction. For instance, the DMS but not the
15 DLS is required for extinction of a spatial alternation in the T-maze (Moussa et al., 2011). In addition, in an instrumental learning task, the DLS but not the DMS has been implicated in extinction of S-R/habitual learning, whereas the DMS but not the DLS has been associated with extinction of goal-directed learning (Klein et al., 2012). Thus, it appears that the DLS selectively mediates extinction of habit memory, whereas the DMS mediates extinction of cognitive memory, similar to their roles in initial acquisition and retrieval (Yin and Knowlton, 2006; Devan et al., 2011).
COMPETITION BETWEEN MEMORY SYSTEMS DURING EXTINCTION In addition to the studies discussed above in which the DLS critically mediates extinction, there are a few studies suggesting that in some learning situations lesion or inactivation of the DLS actually enhances extinction. Inactivating the DLS immediately after extinction training with bupivacaine slightly enhances the consolidation of extinction in the place learning version of the plus-maze (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2016). Likewise, excitotoxic lesions of the DLS enhance extinction of spatial alternation in a modified T-maze, whereas DMS lesions impair extinction in this task (Moussa et al., 2011). Lastly, selective lesions of either the DLS or DMS are associated with enhanced extinction of two-way active avoidance (Wendler et al., 2014). These findings are consistent with the view that anatomically distinct memory systems sometimes interact with each other in a competitive manner, such that disrupting one memory system may enhance function of another intact memory system (Poldrack and Packard, 2003). Consistent with a competitive interaction between memory systems, the DLS may mediate learning mechanisms that are not ideal for extinction in some tasks. Lesions of this brain region
16 may eliminate this sub-optimal kind of extinction learning and allow another brain region that is better suited for extinction in these tasks (e.g. the hippocampus or DMS) to seize control. Competitive interactions between memory systems have been demonstrated primarily during initial acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of memory (for reviews, see Poldrack and Packard, 2003; Packard and Goodman, 2013). The observation that DLS inactivation enhances extinction in some tasks suggests that memory systems may continue to compete during extinction, although the neural mechanisms underlying competitive interactions among memory systems during extinction are unknown.
POTENTIAL DORSAL STRIATAL MECHANISMS OF EXTINCTION: FROM LEARNING THEORY TO SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY There are multiple potential learning mechanisms that the DLS could subserve in mediating extinction. As mentioned above, several investigators have proposed responseproduced inhibition theories of extinction learning, including the hypothesis that extinction may be achieved through acquisition of a novel inhibitory S-R association (Hull, 1943; Rescorla, 2001). According to this hypothesis, during extinction training, stimuli in the learning environment may develop the ability to inhibit the original response. Consistent with extensive evidence that the DLS mediates S-R learning (Packard and Knowlton, 2002), this brain region may also mediate inhibitory S-R associations, which can putatively promote extinction (Rescorla, 2001). Importantly, the DLS may not mediate changes in expectation during extinction training given that DLS inactivation does not influence latent extinction (Goodman, Gabriele, and Packard, 2017).
17 The DLS may also promote extinction via learned avoidance. Acquisition of passive avoidance and active avoidance is partially mediated by DLS function (Salado-Castillo et al., 1996; Wendler et al., 2014). Thus, one possibility is that during extinction training the DLS mediates avoidance behavior, in which the original response is suppressed. This avoidance behavior may be negatively reinforced by preventing frustration, which is hypothesized to occur during extinction training when the original response no longer leads to a positive outcome (Amsel, 1962). Another possibility is that as the animal learns to avoid the original response, a new response is acquired in parallel. For instance, during extinction training in the response learning plus-maze task, animals may learn to make the opposite body-turn response. To the extent that the DLS has been critically implicated in initial acquisition of response learning, this brain region may also be involved in acquiring novel responses during extinction training. Indeed, DLS function has been associated with reversal learning in a T-maze task (Rueda-Orozco et al., 2008), and the DLS has also been implicated in acquiring new strategies following the removal of reinforcement (Skelin et al., 2014). Regarding the neurobiological mechanisms through which the dorsal striatum mediates extinction, there is evidence for a role of glutamatergic neurotransmission. Intra-DLS administration of the NMDA receptor antagonist AP5 is sufficient to impair extinction of response learning in the plus-maze, whereas intra-DLS administration of the NMDA receptor agonist D-cycloserine enhances extinction in this task (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2017). In addition, as mentioned above, extinction of drug self-administration is associated with increased expression of metabotropic glutamate receptors and NMDA receptors in the DLS (Ghasemzadeh et al., 2009a,b; Schwendt et al., 2012), whereas inhibiting DLS metabotropic
18 glutamate receptors impairs extinction of drug self-administration (Knackstedt et al., 2014). These findings are consistent with extensive prior evidence indicating that glutamatergic neurotransmission (in particular NMDA receptor activation) mediates extinction across a range of learning and memory tasks (Baker and Azorlosa, 1996; Falls et al., 1992; Gabriele and Packard, 2007; Goodman, Gabriele, and Packard, 2016; Kehoe et al., 1996; Thompson and Disterhoft, 1997). The observation that dorsal striatal extinction mechanisms partially depend on activation of NMDA receptors suggests a potential role for NMDA-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity. Indeed, many investigators have considered synaptic plasticity as a potential neurobiological substrate for learning and memory (Bliss & Collingridge, 1993; Hebb, 1949; Kandel, 2001; Martin, Grimwood, and Morris, 2000), including for extinction memory (e.g. Maren, 2015). Evidence indicates that NMDA receptor activity at corticostriatal synapses is required for longterm potentiation (LTP) and synaptic depotentiation (i.e. the reversal of LTP) in the DLS (Li, Li, and Han, 2009; Picconi et al., 2011). Therefore, it is tempting to speculate that long-term changes in corticostriatal glutamate release following LTP or synaptic depotentiation may underlie extinction in the maze learning and instrumental learning tasks discussed above. The suggestion that DLS mechanisms of extinction involve synaptic plasticity is consistent with evidence indicating that Arc (i.e. a plasticity-related immediate early gene) in the DLS is required for extinction of drug self-administration (Hearing et al., 2011; Knackstedt and Schwendt, 2016). Considering the well-known role of dopamine in learning and memory processes of the dorsal striatum (Packard and White, 1991; Packard and McGaugh, 1994; Faure, Haberland, Condé, and Massioui, 2005; for review, see Packard and Goodman, 2017), it is possible that
19 dopaminergic mechanisms in this brain region also contribute to extinction. D1 and D2 dopamine receptors are preferentially expressed on distinct subtypes of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) which form two different pathways with putatively opposite roles in action selection. The D1 direct pathway is believed to promote desired action sequences, whereas the D2 indirect pathway suppresses alternative, undesired action sequences (Albin, Young, and Penney, 1989; Delong, 1990; Kravitz et al., 2010; Jin et al., 2014). Consistent with their roles in action selection, it may be speculated that D1 and D2 pathways modulate extinction in a competitive manner. D1 pathway activation may be associated with inhibition of extinction, whereas D2 pathway activation may promote extinction. Indeed, evidence indicates that intraventricular administration of a D1 antagonist enhances, and intra-ventricular administration of a D2 antagonist impairs, extinction in an appetitive T-maze task (André and Manahan-Vaughan, 2016). Whether these effects can be specifically attributed to inhibition of D1 and D2 pathways in the striatum has not been investigated.
EXTINCTION OF MALADAPTIVE HABITS IN PSYCHOPATHOLOGY The hypothesis that some human neuropsychiatric disorders reflect maladaptive dorsal striatal memory processes has garnered increasing attention. Habit-like behavioral symptoms, such as tics, repetitive/stereotyped behaviors, or drug taking, may reflect heightened engagement of DLS-dependent habit memory in a variety of human psychopathologies, including Tourette’s syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, drug addiction/relapse, post-traumatic stress disorder, and others (Everitt and Robbins, 2005, 2013; Gillan and Robbins, 2014; Goh and Peterson, 2012; Goodman et al., 2012, 2014; Goodman and Packard, 2016; Graybiel and Rauch, 2000; Schwabe et al., 2011; White, 1996). In addition, the enhanced formation and expression of habit-like
20 symptoms in these disorders following stressful life events, such as stress-induced relapse to drug taking, may be attributed to stress and anxiety augmenting DLS-dependent memory function (for review, see Goodman et al., 2012; Goodman and Packard, 2016; Schwabe et al., 2011; Schwabe, 2013). Considering the putative role of DLS-dependent habit memory in some human psychopathologies, extinction of habit memory may be relevant to understanding the neurobehavioral mechanisms through which dysfunctional habits (e.g. drug addiction) may be suppressed. Indeed, relative to a cognitive extinction protocol (i.e. latent extinction), DLSdependent response extinction protocols are more effective at extinguishing habit memory in the plus-maze and cocaine-reinforced running in the straight alley maze (Gabriele, Setlow, and Packard, 2009; Goodman, Gabriele, and Packard, 2016; Goodman and Packard, 2015). Therefore, it may be speculated that response-based therapy would be more effective than cognitive-based therapy in alleviating the maladaptive habits present in some human psychopathologies. Research on extinction of habit memory may not only be relevant for selecting an appropriate behavioral therapy, but may also be instructive in combatting maladaptive habits through pharmacological methods. For instance, research implicating NMDA receptor activity in extinction of habit memory suggests that pharmacological treatments targeting the NMDA receptor may be useful for suppressing dysfunctional habit-like symptoms. As mentioned above, the NMDA receptor agonist D-cycloserine improves extinction of habit memory in the plusmaze (Goodman, Ressler, and Packard, 2017), and therefore D-cycloserine may be considered as a potential adjunct to behavioral extinction-based therapy for alleviating maladaptive habits. Indeed, D-cycloserine augments extinction in a variety of animal learning tasks, which serve as
21 models of maladaptive memory, including Pavlovian fear conditioning (Ledgerwood et al, 2003; Walker et al., 2002) and cocaine self-administration (Thanos et al., 2011). Consistent with the translational applications of this research, D-cycloserine has also been shown to improve extinction of maladaptive memory in humans. For instance, D-cycloserine boosts the efficacy of extinction-based therapy in post-traumatic stress disorder (Heresco-Levy et al., 2002), drug addiction (Oliveto et al., 2003), obsessive-compulsive disorder (Kushner et al., 2007), and phobia disorders (Ressler et al., 2004). Interestingly, each of these disorders may also be associated with habit-like symptoms mediated by DLS-dependent memory (Gillan and Robbins, 2014; Goodman and Packard, 2016; Graybiel and Rauch, 2000; Schwabe, Wolf, and Oitzl, 2010). Whether D-cycloserine specifically targets the habit-like behavioral symptoms in these disorders has not been thoroughly established. In addition, it will be useful to determine in future studies whether other pharmacological treatments that enhance extinction of conditioned fear and drug-reinforced behavior (e.g., drugs targeting dopamine, mGluR, and cannabinoid systems; Lafenêtre, Chaouloff, and Marsicano, 2007; Cleva, Gass, Widholm, & Olive, 2010; Abraham, Neve, and Lattal, 2014; Xu et al., 2013) may also facilitate extinction of habit memory.
CONCLUSION The present review describes a prominent role for the dorsal striatum in extinction (see Table 1). In particular, these findings indicate that the DLS mediates extinction across maze learning and instrumental learning tasks. The DLS may incite a kind of response-produced inhibition (e.g. inhibitory S-R associations) to promote extinction, rather than relying on cognitive forms of extinction learning, such as those involving changes in expectation. Although
22 the precise neurobiological mechanisms in the DLS that support extinction remain unknown, there is evidence indicating a role for NMDA receptors, potentially implicating the involvement of NMDA-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity (e.g. LTP and synaptic depotentiation) at corticostriatal synapses. Findings regarding the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying extinction of DLS-dependent habit memory may be useful for developing treatments to combat the maladaptive habit-like behavioral features of some human psychopathologies.
