Vicarious reward unblocks associative learning about novel cues in male rats

eLife, 2020
Many species, including rats, are sensitive to social signals and their valuation is important in social learning. Here we introduce a task that investigates if mutual reward delivery in male rats can drive associative learning.

FGF2 is expressed in human and murine embryonic choroid plexus and affects choroid plexus cell behaviour [PDF]

, 2008
Background Although fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signalling plays crucial roles in several developing and mature tissues, little information is currently available on expression of Fgf2 during early choroid plexus development and whether Fgf2 directly ...

What, If Anything, Is Rodent Prefrontal Cortex?

eNeuro, 2018
Visual Abstract Prefrontal cortex (PFC) means different things to different people. In recent years, there has been a major increase in publications on the PFC, especially using mice. However, inconsistencies in the nomenclature and anatomical boundaries

Influence of grazing on the activity pattern and temporal niche of two dominant rodent species in Alxa desert

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Grazing by large herbivores can potentially affect interspecific interactions between small herbivores by reducing the ecological fitness of animals.

Alarm Calling in Plateau Pika (Ochotona curzoniae): Evidence from Field Observations and Simulated Predator and Playback Experiments

Animals, 2023
Acoustic communication plays a vital role in passing or sharing information between individuals. Identifying the biological meaning of vocal signals is crucial in understanding the survival strategies of animals.

How good are rodent models of carcinogenesis in predicting efficacy in humans? A systematic review and meta-analysis of colon chemoprevention in rats, mice and men [PDF]

, 2005
Tumours in rodent and human colon share many histological and genetic features. To know if rodent models of colon carcinogenesis are good predictors of chemopreventive efficacy in humans, we made a meta-analysis of aspirin, beta-carotene, calcium, and ...

Effect of rodent density on tick and tick-borne pathogen populations: consequences for infectious disease risk

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Rodents are considered to contribute strongly to the risk of tick-borne diseases by feeding Ixodes ricinus larvae and by acting as amplifying hosts for pathogens.

Rodent Suborders [PDF]

Fossil Imprint, 2019
Abstract For two hundred years the status of rodent suborders has been unstable. What are the natural groupings of extant rodent families? The formal recognition of rodent suborders has remained challenging and consensus has been elusive. Classically conceived rodent suborders are widely viewed as artificial, but no universally accepted classification ...

Machine learning identifies straightforward early warning rules for human Puumala hantavirus outbreaks

Scientific Reports, 2023
Human Puumala virus (PUUV) infections in Germany fluctuate multi-annually, following fluctuations of the bank vole population size. We applied a transformation to the annual incidence values and established a heuristic method to develop a straightforward

Anthelmintic action of plant cysteine proteinases against the rodent stomach nematode, Protospirura muricola, in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

, 2007
Cysteine proteinases from the fruit and latex of plants, including papaya, pineapple and fig, were previously shown to have a rapid detrimental effect, in vitro, against the rodent gastrointestinal nematodes, H eligmosomoides polygyrus (which is found in
