The frequencies of eating disorders and obesity have increased worldwide in recent years.
Their pathophysiologies are still unclear, but recent evidence suggests that they might be …

Most preclinical behavioral assays use rodents as model animals, leaving room for species-
specific biases that could be avoided by an expanded cross-species approach. In this …

The present article provides a historical review of the place and response learning plus-
maze tasks with a focus on the behavioral and neurobiological findings. The article begins …

Operant conditioning is a powerful tool to study animal perception and cognition. Compared
to mammals and birds, there are very few behavioral studies using operant conditioning …

Previous studies on relative quantity discrimination in birds and mammals with training
procedures have employed hundreds or thousands of trials whereas studies with fish …

Recent research has explored links between cognition and personality, with prominent
hypotheses proposing that personality drives consistent individual differences in cognitive …

We tested zebrafish shoals to examine whether groups exhibit collective spatial learning
and whether this relates to the personality of group members. To do this we trained shoals to …

decreased their decision-making time in a thermal maze.•Learning occurred after one …

Background: Previous studies have shown that stingrays can exploit a variety of spatial
learning strategies, including directional, landmark, and place learning. In these studies …

Background Flexible spatial memory, such as “place” learning, is an important adaptation to
assist successful foraging and to avoid predation and is thought to be more adaptive than …
