Oligodendrocyte dynamics dictate cognitive performance outcomes of working memory training in mice
Nature Communications, 2023 Previous work has shown that motor skill learning stimulates and requires generation of myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs) from their precursor cells (OLPs) in the brains of adult mice.

Elements of latent learning in a maze environment [PDF]
, 1985 A general purpose learning program is described which demonstrates a latent learning ability by operating at two separate goal pursuit levels. At one level are the constant, implicit goals associated with the system's memory management mechanisms. At the

A Review of the Historical Evolutionary Process of Dry and Water Maze Tests in Rodents
Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2020 This research provides an overview of the historical advances of the maze tests that are widely used to assess the cognitive impairments in rodents. Particularly, this study focuses on the issue of learning and memory behavioral tests, including dry and ...

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 Previous research indicates that extinction of rodent maze behavior may occur without explicit performance of the previously required response. In latent extinction, confining an animal to a previously rewarded goal location without reinforcement is ...

Generative Exploration and Exploitation
, 2019 Sparse reward is one of the biggest challenges in reinforcement learning (RL). In this paper, we propose a novel method called Generative Exploration and Exploitation (GENE) to overcome sparse reward.

Hippocampal BDNF regulates a shift from flexible, goal-directed to habit memory system function following cocaine abstinence. [PDF]
, 2019 The transition from recreational drug use to addiction involves pathological learning processes that support a persistent shift from flexible, goal-directed to habit behavioral control.

Maze Navigation by Honeybees: Learning Path Regularity [PDF]
Learning & Memory, 2000 We investigated the ability of honeybees to learn mazes of four types: constant-turn mazes, in which the appropriate turn is always in the same direction in each decision chamber; zig-zag mazes, in which the appropriate turn is alternately left and right in successive decision chambers; irregular mazes, in which there is no readily apparent pattern to ...

Dissociating Behavior and Spatial Working Memory Demands Using an H Maze
Bio-Protocol, 2021 The development of mazes for animal experiments has allowed for the investigation of cognitive maps and place cells, spatial working memory, naturalistic navigation, perseverance, exploration, and choice and motivated behavior.
