Strains and stressors: an analysis of touchscreen learning in genetically diverse mouse strains.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Touchscreen-based systems are growing in popularity as a tractable, translational approach for studying learning and cognition in rodents. However, while mouse strains are well known to differ in learning across various settings, performance variation ...

Environmental enrichment improves cognitive flexibility in rainbow trout in a visual discrimination task: first insights

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Research on fish cognition provides strong evidence that fish are endowed with high level cognitive skills. However, most studies on cognitive flexibility and generalization abilities, two key adaptive traits for captive animals, focused on model species,

The different effects of maternal separation on spatial learning and reversal learning in rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Early postnatal maternal separation (MS) can play an important role in the development of psychopathologies during ontogeny. In the present study, we investigated the effects of repeated MS (4 h per day from postnatal day (PND) 1 to 21) on locomotor ...

Testing the somatic marker hypothesis in decisions-from-experience with non-stationary outcome probabilities

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
IntroductionThe Somatic Marker Hypothesis (SMH) posits that in experience-based choice, people develop physiological reactions that mark options as either positive or negative. These somatic markers aid decision making because they differentiate between “

The Zebrafish Dorsolateral Habenula Is Required for Updating Learned Behaviors

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Operant learning requires multiple cognitive processes, such as learning, prediction of potential outcomes, and decision-making. It is less clear how interactions of these processes lead to the behavioral adaptations that allow animals to cope ...

Seasonal variation in reversal learning reveals greater female cognitive flexibility in African striped mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Cognitive flexibility describes the ability of animals to alter cognitively mediated behaviour in response to changing situational demands, and can vary according to prevailing environemental conditions and individual caracteristics. In the present study,

Learning reversible symplectic dynamics

open access: yes, 2022
Time-reversal symmetry arises naturally as a structural property in many dynamical systems of interest. While the importance of hard-wiring symmetry is increasingly recognized in machine learning, to date this has eluded time-reversibility. In this paper we propose a new neural network architecture for learning time-reversible dynamical systems from ...

Dogs Exhibiting High Levels of Aggressive Reactivity Show Impaired Self-Control Abilities

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Inhibitory control describes a multitude of cognitive processes that prevents an impulsive response and enables a more appropriate behavior in a given situation.

Memory Formation in Reversal Learning of the Honeybee [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010
In reversal learning animals are first trained with a differential learning protocol, where they learn to respond to a reinforced odor (CS+) and not to respond to a non-reinforced odor (CS-). Once they respond correctly to this rule, the contingencies of the conditioned stimuli are reversed, and animals learn to adjust their response to the new rule ...

Impulsivity Relates to Multi-Trial Choice Strategy in Probabilistic Reversal Learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2022
Impulsivity is defined as a trait-like tendency to engage in rash actions that are poorly thought out or expressed in an untimely manner. Previous research has found that impulsivity relates to deficits in decision making, in particular when it ...
