Placebo hypoalgesia induced by operant conditioning: a comparative study on the effects of verbal, token-based, and social rewards and punishers [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Operant conditioning was shown to be a mechanism of placebo hypoalgesia; however, only verbal rewards and punishers were applied in the previous study.

Temporal prediction error triggers amygdala-dependent memory updating in appetitive operant conditioning in rats [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023 Reinforcement learning theories postulate that prediction error, i.e., a discrepancy between the actual and expected outcomes, drives reconsolidation and new learning, inducing an updating of the initial memory.

Low-dimensional signatures of neuronal activity associated with long-term operant conditioning in Aplysia [PDF]
Communications BiologyOperant conditioning is a form of learning in which a behavior is reinforced by reward. Operant conditioning has multiple temporal domains, ranging from short-term, lasting a few minutes, to long-term, persisting for at least 24 h.

Operant Conditioning in Skinnerbots [PDF]
Adaptive Behavior, 1997 Instrumental (or operant) conditioning, a form of animal learning, is similar to reinforcement learning (Watkins, 1989) in that it allows an agent to adapt its actions to gain maximally from the environment while being rewarded only for correct performance.

Operant conditioning of stochastic chemical reaction networks. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Adapting one's behavior to environmental conditions and past experience is a key trait of living systems. In the biological world, there is evidence for adaptive behaviors such as learning even in naturally occurring, non-neural, single-celled organisms.

Neural Operant Conditioning as a Core Mechanism of Brain-Machine Interface Control
Technologies, 2016 The process of changing the neuronal activity of the brain to acquire rewards in a broad sense is essential for utilizing brain-machine interfaces (BMIs), which is essentially operant conditioning of neuronal activity.

Direct Pathway Neurons in the Mouse Ventral Striatum Are Active During Goal-Directed Action but Not Reward Consumption During Operant Conditioning [PDF]
BiomedicinesBackground/Objectives: Learning is classically modeled to consist of an acquisition period followed by a mastery period when the skill no longer requires conscious control and becomes automatic.
