Tool use specific adult neurogenesis and synaptogenesis in rodent (Octodon degus) hippocampus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
We previously demonstrated that degus (Octodon degus), which are a species of small caviomorph rodents, could be trained to use a T-shaped rake as a hand tool to expand accessible spaces.

Non-spatial information on the presence of food elevates search intensity in ant workers, leading to faster maze solving in a process parallel to spatial learning.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Experience can lead to faster exploitation of food patches through spatial learning or other parallel processes. Past studies have indicated that hungry animals either search more intensively for food or learn better how to detect it.

An Educational 3D Maze Game for Bulgarian Orthodox Iconography

open access: yesDigital Presentation and Preservation of Cultural and Scientific Heritage, 2016
Thanks to their specific characteristics, educational video games make game-based learning more effective than traditional teaching approaches with regard of students’ motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes.

Development of alphabet maze media for beginning reading skills for children

open access: yesAl-Athfaal, 2022
Reading ability affects children's success in understanding learning material. Teachers who are less creative in carrying out reading activities and the lack of use of learning media have an impact on children so that children have difficulty saying ...

Hemispheric dominance and maze learning [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1979
Ten male and 10 female subjects, classified as either right- or left-hemispheric dominant, attempted to learn a 10-blind-alley finger maze. The right-dominant group took fewer trials and less time and made fewer errors than the left-dominant group.

A maze platform for the assessment of Caenorhabditis elegans behavior and learning

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Mazes are broadly used to investigate animal decision-making and spatial learning. However, they have been sparsely employed to explore C. elegans behavior and training-improved performance.

Theta oscillations support active exploration in human spatial navigation

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2022
Active navigation seems to yield better spatial knowledge than passive navigation, but it is unclear how active decision-making influences learning and memory.

Transfer of Visual Learning Between a Virtual and a Real Environment in Honey Bees: The Role of Active Vision

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
To study visual learning in honey bees, we developed a virtual reality (VR) system in which the movements of a tethered bee walking stationary on a spherical treadmill update the visual panorama presented in front of it (closed-loop conditions), thus ...

Kv4.2 knockout mice display learning and memory deficits in the Lashley maze [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2017
Background: Potassium channels have been shown to be involved in neural plasticity and learning. Kv4.2 is a subunit of the A-type potassium channel. Kv4.2 channels modulate excitability in the dendrites of pyramidal neurons in the cortex and hippocampus.
