Characterization and correlations of behavioral and adrenocortical activities of zoo-housed lesser anteaters (Tamandua tetradactyla)
(Wiley, 2019-06-07)
We characterized behavioral and adrenocortical activities of Tamandua tetradactyla under human care driven by the hypothesis that they vary between males and females. We also assessed the potential association between ...
Compulsive Social Behavior Emerges after Selective Ablation of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons
(Society for Neuroscience, 2017-03)
The mechanisms underlying social dysfunction in neuropsychiatric conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome (TS) remain uncertain. Dysfunctions in basal ganglia, including reduced number of ...
The predator and prey behaviors of crabs: from ecology to neural adaptations
(Company of Biologists, 2017-07)
Predator avoidance and prey capture are among the most vital of animal behaviors. They require fast reactions controlled by comparatively straightforward neural circuits often containing giant neurons, which facilitates ...
Long-term spatial memory in Vespula germanica social wasps: the influence of past experience on foraging behavior
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-10)
Social insects exhibit complex learning and memory mechanisms while foraging. Vespula germanica (Fab.) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) is an invasive social wasp that frequently forages on undepleted food sources, making several ...
Diving classification and behavior of free-ranging female southern elephant seals based on threedimensional movements and video-recorded observations
(Inter-Research, 2019-06-18)
The goal of this study was to classify dives of free-ranging female southern elephant seals Mirounga leonina from Península Valdés, Argentina, during their 2 mo post-breeding migration. Classifications were based on ...
Asymmetry in genitalia is in sync with lateralized mating behavior but not with the lateralization of other behaviors
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04)
Asymmetries in bilateral organisms attract a lot of curiosity given that they are conspicuous departures from the norm. They allow the investigation of the integration at different levels of biological organization. Here ...
Perinatal protein malnutrition induces the emergence of enduring effects and age-related impairment behaviors, increasing the death risk in a mouse model
(Maney Publishing, 2020-10)
Background: Early-life adversity impacts on the offspring’s brain development and is associated with a higher risk of developing age-associated diseases. In particular, perinatal protein malnutrition appears to be one of ...
Modeling Users Collaborative Behavior with a Serious Game
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-06)
User modeling is an important area in the field of artificial intelligence. Traditionally, user modeling approaches have focused on individual features of users, leaving aside aspects of users as part of a group. However, ...
How Does Social Context Influence Our Brain and Behavior?
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-03)
When we interact with others, the context in which our actions take place plays a major role in our behavior. This means that our understanding of objects, words, emotions, and social cues may differ depending on where we ...
Plant odors trigger clearing behavior in foraging trails: do they represent olfactory obstacles?
(Elsevier Science, 2019-12)
Foraging trails of leaf-cutting ants may be exposed to plant material that interferes with foragers’ flux either by physically blocking it or due to secondary metabolites which affect insect behavior. We hypothesized that ...
