T‐maze learning in weanling lambs [PDF]
Developmental Psychobiology, 2011 AbstractA major advantage of sheep models in experimental studies of neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., with prenatal neurotoxicant exposure) is that the equivalent of all three trimesters of human brain development occurs in sheep entirely in utero. However, studies of learning and memory in sheep are limited. The goal of this study was to extend the

Using the Morris Water Maze to Assess Spatial Learning and Memory in Weanling Mice
PLoS ONE, 2015 Mouse models have been indispensable for elucidating normal and pathological processes that influence learning and memory. A widely used method for assessing these cognitive processes in mice is the Morris water maze, a classic test for examining spatial

Sex differences in the effects of 10 Hz and 40 Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation on spatial cognition in mice [PDF]
Biology of Sex DifferencesBackground Sex differences are crucial to understanding neuropsychiatric disorders, yet they are often overlooked in the development of therapies. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) shows promise for cognitive enhancement, but its sex ...

The time, the path, its length and strenuousness in maze learning [PDF]
Psihologija, 2022 Previous findings show that rats in a maze tend to choose the shortest path to reach food. But it is not clear whether this choice is based on path length solely, or some other factors. The aim of this experiment was to investigate which factor dominates

Caenorhabditis elegans learning in a structured maze is a multisensory behavior
iScience, 2021 Summary: We show that C. elegans nematodes learn to associate food with a combination of proprioceptive cues and information on the structure of their surroundings (maze), perceived through mechanosensation.

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 ...

Network analysis of exploratory behaviors of mice in a spatial learning and memory task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The Barnes maze is one of the main behavioral tasks used to study spatial learning and memory. The Barnes maze is a task conducted on "dry land" in which animals try to escape from a brightly lit exposed circular open arena to a small dark escape box ...

Quantum reinforcement learning: the maze problem
Quantum Machine Intelligence, 2022 AbstractQuantum machine learning (QML) is a young but rapidly growing field where quantum information meets machine learning. Here, we will introduce a new QML model generalising the classical concept of reinforcement learning to the quantum domain, i.e. quantum reinforcement learning (QRL).

A method for rapid testing of social learning in vampire bats [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Designing experiments on social learning using an untested behaviour or species requires baseline knowledge of how the animals will perform. We conducted a pilot study of a procedure for rapidly testing social learning in the highly social common vampire

Nostalgia, gamification and staff development – moving staff training away from didactic delivery [PDF]
Research in Learning Technology, 2018 There is growing evidence that incorporating games into education supports active learning and student participation. With that in mind, we created a staff development session that involved a playful learning activity, in which attendees experienced 90’s
