State Transitions During Discrimination Learning in the Gerbil Auditory Cortex Analyzed by Network Causality Metrics [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021 This work studies the evolution of cortical networks during the transition from escape strategy to avoidance strategy in auditory discrimination learning in Mongolian gerbils trained by the well-established two-way active avoidance learning paradigm. The

Post-training depletions of basolateral amygdala serotonin fail to disrupt discrimination, retention, or reversal learning [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015 In goal-directed pursuits, the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is critical in learning about changes in the value of rewards. BLA-lesioned rats show enhanced reversal learning, a task employed to measure the flexibility of response to changes in reward ...

Improved Separation of Odor Responses in Granule Cells of the Olfactory Bulb During Odor Discrimination Learning [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 In the olfactory bulb, olfactory information is translated into ensemble representations by mitral/tufted cells, and these representations change dynamically in a context-dependent manner.

Effect of Age and Dietary Intervention on Discrimination Learning in Pet Dogs [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Aging is associated with a decline in cognitive functions such as learning, memory, attention, cognitive flexibility, and executive functions. Recent evidence indicates that interventions such as exercise, diet and cognitive training can be used to ...

Mixture discrimination training induces durable and generalizable olfactory learning independent of odorant structure and concentration [PDF]
eLifePreviously, we showed that adult human olfaction retains plasticity in the unilateral processing of molecular chirality (Feng and Zhou, 2019). Using a similar unilateral discrimination protocol across three experiments with human adults (n = 96; 1295 ...

Goats (Capra hircus) From Different Selection Lines Differ in Their Behavioural Flexibility
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Given that domestication provided animals with more stable environmental conditions, artificial selection by humans has likely affected animals' ability to learn novel contingencies and their ability to adapt to changing environments.

Pharmaceuticals, 2021 Cognitive flexibility refers to the ability to modify learned behavior in response to changes in the environment. In laboratory rodents, cognitive flexibility can be assessed in reversal learning, i.e., the change of contingencies, for example in T-maze ...

Suffixing, prefixing, and the functional order of regularities in meaningful strings [PDF]
Psihologija, 2013 The world’s languages tend to exhibit a suffixing preference, adding inflections to the ends of words, rather than the beginning of them. Previous works has suggested that this apparently universal preference arises out of the constraints ...
