Alpha-pinene moderates memory impairment induced by kainic acid via improving the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway in rat hippocampus

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionThe potential benefits of natural ingredients in the alleviation of neurodegenerative disorders are of great interest. Alpha-pinene (APN) is an essential oil belonging to monoterpenes with multiple beneficial effects.

LEARNING TO AVOID RISKY ACTIONS [PDF]

open access: yesCybernetics and Systems, 2011
When a reinforcement learning agent executes actions that can cause frequent damage to itself, it can learn, by using Q-learning, that these actions must not be executed again. However, there are other actions that do not cause damage frequently but only once in a while, for example, risky actions such as parachuting. These actions may imply punishment

Impaired Learning From Errors and Punishments and Maladaptive Avoidance—General Mechanisms Underlying Self-Regulation Disorders?

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Self-regulation (SR) is an important human function that relates to quality of life in multiple domains including mental health. Previous studies have found important correlates of low SR including impulsivity and poor emotional regulation; however ...

The effect of apelin-13 on memory of scopolamine-treated rats and accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques in the hippocampus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Basic Research, 2023
Background: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) cause progressive neuronal loss, resulting in morbidity and mortality. Research is continued on treatment strategies that can tackle the disease's pathophysiology and cease its progression.

The Machine Learning Method of PIDVCA [PDF]

open access: yesTransNav, 2020
Building a dynamic collision knowledge base of self-learning is one of the core contents of implementing "personified intelligence" in Personifying Intelligent Decision-making for Vessel Collision Avoidance (short for PIDVCA).

Metabolic and behavioural effects of hermit crab shell removal techniques: Is heating less invasive than cracking?

open access: yesAnimal Welfare, 2023
Hermit crabs (Paguroidea; Latreille 1802) offer great opportunities to study animal behaviour and physiology. However, the animals’ size and sex cannot be determined when they are inside their shell; information crucial to many experimental designs. Here,

Online Learning for Obstacle Avoidance

open access: yesCoRR, 2023
We approach the fundamental problem of obstacle avoidance for robotic systems via the lens of online learning. In contrast to prior work that either assumes worst-case realizations of uncertainty in the environment or a stationary stochastic model of uncertainty, we propose a method that is efficient to implement and provably grants instance-optimality

The Effects of Intravermis Cerebellar Microinjections of Dopaminergic Agents in Motor Learning and Aversive Memory Acquisition in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
The cerebellum receives dopaminergic innervation and expresses the five types of described dopaminergic receptors. The cerebellar function involves both motor movement and cognition, but the role of cerebellar dopaminergic system on these processes ...

Imaging of Functional Brain Circuits during Acquisition and Memory Retrieval in an Aversive Feedback Learning Task: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow in Freely Behaving Rats

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
Active avoidance learning is a complex form of aversive feedback learning that in humans and other animals is essential for actively coping with unpleasant, aversive, or dangerous situations.

The Effect of Virtual Fencing Stimuli on Stress Responses and Behavior in Sheep

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
To understand the animal welfare impact of virtual fencing stimuli (audio cue ‘beep’ and electrical stimulus) on naïve sheep, it is necessary to assess stress responses during the animal’s first encounters with these stimuli ...
