Appetitively motivated tasks in the IntelliCage reveal a higher motivational cost of spatial learning in male than female mice

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
The IntelliCage (IC) permits the assessment of the behavior and learning abilities of mice in a social home cage context. To overcome water deprivation as an aversive driver of learning, we developed protocols in which spatial learning is motivated ...

Time flips and price dips: Modeling preference reversals between intertemporal choice and pricing

Journal of Choice Modelling
Subjective value and preference for delayed prospects are measured in multiple ways, including both choices between options and price equivalents. However, these methods diverge in their conclusions, resulting in preference reversals that parallel those observed in risky choice.
