A quantitative analysis of spontaneous alternation behaviors on a Y-maze reveals adverse effects of acute social isolation on spatial working memory

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Animals tend to alternate between different choices, which requires the ability to remember recent choices. The Y-maze spontaneous alternation test is widely used in various animal models for assessing short-term memory, and its precise evaluation ...

Glycosylation and behavioral symptoms in neurological disorders

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2023
Glycosylation, the addition of glycans or carbohydrates to proteins, lipids, or other glycans, is a complex post-translational modification that plays a crucial role in cellular function.

Dynamic and stable hippocampal representations of social identity and reward expectation support associative social memory in male mice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Recognizing an individual and retrieving and updating the value information assigned to the individual are fundamental abilities for establishing social relationships. To understand the neural mechanisms underlying the association between social identity

The Interplay Between Affect, Dog's Physical Activity and Dog–Owner Relationship

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Leaving a dog home alone is part of everyday life for most dog owners. Previous research shows that dog–owner relationship has multifarious effects on dog behavior.

Mice in social conflict show rule-observance behavior enhancing long-term benefit

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Resolving conflict in an orderly way is beneficial, but it is unclear whether non-human animals make and observe such rules. Here, authors show that mice spontaneously develop and observe such rules, thereby increasing their total, individual reward as ...

Non-invasive optical control of endogenous Ca2+ channels in awake mice

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Optogenetic applications in the brain of live animals often require the use of optic fibers due to poor tissue-penetration of blue light. Here the authors present monSTIM1, an improved high sensitivity optogenetic tool able to modulate Ca2+ signaling in ...

Noninvasive optical activation of Flp recombinase for genetic manipulation in deep mouse brain regions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Most approaches to control gene expression in vivo require generation of knock-in mouse lines and often lack spatiotemporal control. Here the authors develop a photo-activatable Flp recombinase system and demonstrate its use by controlling object ...

Reflectivity relates differently to pro sociality in naïve and strategic subjects

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Is pro sociality a natural impulse or the result of a self-controlled behavior? We investigate this issue in a lab in the field experiment with participants from the general adult population in Italy.
