Abstract The Forkhead Box P2 (FoxP2) gene in humans encode a transcription factor that
has been associated with verbal development. The dFoxP gene is the ortholog in …

Investigating positive-valance operant learning in Drosophila melanogaster with a novel
apparatus A Master’s Thesis Presented Page 1 Investigating positive-valance operant learning …

How did humans evolve language? The fossil record does not yield enough evidence to
reconstruct its evolution and animals do not talk. But as the neural and molecular substrates …

The Keynote Speaker at Winter Conference on Animal Learning and Behavior (WCALB)
2014 was Dr. Björn Brembs whose address was titled, Pavlovian and Skinnerian Processes …

We present here our reflections on the scientific work of the late Troy D. Zars (1967–2018),
on what it was like to work with him, and what it means to us. A common theme running …

Spiny projection neurons (SPNs) of the striatum are critical in integrating neurochemical
information to coordinate motor and reward-based behavior. Mutations in the regulatory …

Actions are followed by consequences, to which values are assigned. These subjective
values shape our future actions in what we colloquially call “learning by doing”. But how …

Here, we introduce a novel behavioural paradigm to study neural circuits and mechanisms
underlying action selection and decision-making in freely moving Drosophila. We first …

Several mechanisms underlie how evolutionary lineages respond to predation pressures or
predation risk. Further mechanisms link evolutionary predation responses to how animals …

¿ Cómo evolucionó el lenguaje en el ser humano? El registro fósil no ofrece pruebas
suficientes para reconstruir su evolución y los animales no hablan. Pero a medida que se …
