Olfactory learning and memory in the bumblebee Bombus occidentalis.
24 Mar 2009 
In many respects, the behavior of bumblebees is similar to that of the closely related honeybees, a long-standing model system for learning and memory research. Living in smaller and less regulated colonies, bumblebees are physiologically more ...

Comparing preference assessments: selection- versus duration-based preference assessment procedures.
24 Mar 2009 In the current investigation, the results of a selection- and a duration-based preference assessment procedure were compared. A Multiple Stimulus With Replacement (MSW) preference assessment [Windsor, J., Piché, L. M., & Locke, P. A. (1994). ...

23 Mar 2009 The glutamatergic pathway arising in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) and projecting to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) core is a critical component of the reward circuitry that underlies reinstatement to cocaine-seeking behavior. Brain-derived ...

mGluR5 has a critical role in inhibitory learning.
23 Mar 2009 The mechanisms that contribute to the extinction of previously acquired memories are not well understood. These processes, often referred to as inhibitory learning, are thought to be parallel learning mechanisms that require a reacquisition of new ...

Rattus Psychologicus: construction of preferences by self-stimulating rats.
22 Mar 2009 Behavioral economists have proposed that human preferences are constructed during their elicitation and are thus influenced by the elicitation procedure. For example, different preferences are expressed when options are encountered one at a time or ...

18 Mar 2009 Environmental cues that once predicted reward can restore extinguished behavior directed toward that reward. This process may be modeled by the Pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT) paradigm where a previously learned Pavlovian conditioned stimulus ...

18 Mar 2009 Recent studies suggest that the ability of estradiol to enhance cognitive performance diminishes with age and/or time following loss of ovarian function. We hypothesize that this is due, in part, to a decrease in basal forebrain cholinergic ...

Rapid acquisition of conditioned flavor preferences in rats.
18 Mar 2009 Rats learn to prefer flavors paired with the post-oral effects of glucose. The present study examined how rapidly they acquire this preference. In Experiment 1, food-restricted rats were given repeated three-session training/testing cycles: one ...

The basolateral amygdala is necessary for the encoding and the expression of odor memory.
18 Mar 2009 Conditioned odor avoidance (COA) results from the association between a novel odor and a delayed visceral illness. The present experiments investigated the role of the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in acquisition and retrieval of COA memory. To address ...

Storage or retrieval deficit: the yin and yang of amnesia.
18 Mar 2009 To this day, it remains unresolved whether experimental amnesia reflects failed memory storage or the inability to retrieve otherwise intact memory. Methodological as well as conceptual reasons prevented deciding between these two alternatives: The ...
