The influence of magnetic field on the spatial orientation in zebrafish Danio rerio (Hamilton) and roach Rutilus rutilus (L.)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Some Teleosts use geomagnetic field (GMF) for orientation (see review Krylov et al., 2013). However, there are very few experimental studies of the orientation with GMF in Cyprinids from natural populations.

Dopaminergic and Non-Dopaminergic Value Systems in Conditioning and Outcome-Specific Revaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Animals are motivated to choose environmental options that can best satisfy current needs. To explain such choices, this paper introduces the MOTIVATOR (Matching Objects To Internal Values Triggers Option Revaluations) neural model.

Construction of time preference: an investigation of the role of elicitation method in experimental elicitation of time preference. [PDF]

open access: yes
The idea of preference reversal and construction of preference is not new to literature in decision making. Indeed, several theories have been developed to explain it. (Lichtenstein and Slovic, 2006).

Colour reverse learning and animal personalities: the advantage of behavioural diversity assessed with agent-based simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Foraging bees use colour cues to help identify rewarding from unrewarding flowers, but as conditions change, bees may require behavioural flexibility to reverse their learnt preferences.

Learning and memory impairments in a neuroendocrine mouse model of anxiety/depression

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Cognitive disturbances are often reported as serious incapacitating symptoms by patients suffering from major depressive disorders. Such deficits have been observed in various animal models based on environmental stress.Here, we performed a complete ...

Cultural Neuroeconomics of Intertemporal Choice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
According to theories of cultural neuroscience, Westerners and Easterners may have distinct styles of cognition (e.g., different allocation of attention).

Neuromuscular control of aerodynamic forces and moments in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Flies are among the most agile of flying insects, a capacity that ultimately results from their nervous system's control over steering muscles and aerodynamic forces during flight.

Serial reversal learning in nectar-feeding bats

open access: yesAnimal Cognition
We explored the behavioral flexibility of Commissaris’s long-tongued bats through a spatial serial reversal foraging task. Bats kept in captivity for short periods were trained to obtain nectar rewards from two artificial flowers. At any given time, only

Evaluation of behavior in transgenic mouse models to understand human congenital pain conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BACKGROUND: Containing a brain for signal processing and decision making, and a peripheral component for sensation and response, the nervous system provides higher organisms a powerful method of interacting with their environment.

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

open access: yes
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.
