The formation and extinction of fear memory in tree shrews [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 Fear is an emotion that is well studied due to its importance for animal survival. Experimental animals, such as rats and mice, have been widely used to model fear. However, higher animals such as nonhuman primates have rarely been used to study fear due

Distinct Frequency Specialization for Detecting Dark Transients in Humans and Tree Shrews [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Despite well-known privileged perception of dark over light stimuli, it is unknown to what extent this dark dominance is maintained when visual transients occur in rapid succession, for example, during perception of moving stimuli.
