Stress, individual differences, and norepinephrine in reinforcement learning-based prediction of mouse behavior in conditioning and spatial learning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Gediminas Luksys

Acute stress regulates different aspects of behavioral learning through the action of stress hormones and neuromodulators. Stress effects depend on stressor's type, intensity, timing, and the learning paradigm. In addition, genetic background of animals mi ...

Landscape effects on anuran pond occupancy in an agricultural countryside: barrier-based buffers predict distributions better than circular buffers

Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Flavio Zanini, Anna Klingemann

Species movement and occupancy of habitat patches are dependent on landscape permeability. Some land-use types (e.g., roads) may be barriers to animal movement. Analyses of the effect of landscape structure on patch occupancy usually use circular buffers a ...

An application of advanced spatio-temporal formalisms to behavioural ecology

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent

There is great potential for the development of many new applications using data on mobile objects and mobile regions. To promote these kinds of applications advanced data management techniques for the representation and analysis of mobility-related data a ...

An investigation into therapies for atrial arrythmias using a biophysical model of the human atria

Lam Dang

The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF), affecting about 2% of the general population and 8% to 11% of the elderly, more than 65 years of age. The treatment of atrial arrythmia is still based on empirical considerations and ...

Collective Decision-Making by a Group of Cockroach-like Robots

Masoud Asadpour, Gilles Caprari

In group-living animals, aggregation favours interactions as well as information exchanges between individuals, and allows thus the emergence of complex collective behaviors. In previous works, a model of a self-enhanced aggregation was deduced from experi ...

Development and diseases of the pancreas

Anne Grapin-Botton

The pancreas is a vital gland of exocrine and endocrine function. It is the target of two main affections: diabetes and pancreatic cancer. We describe the tissue interactions, signaling pathways and intracellular targets that are involved in the emergence ...

Metabolic changes in quinolinic acid-lesioned rat striatum detected noninvasively by in vivo 1H NMR spectroscopy

Rolf Gruetter

Intrastriatal injection of quinolinic acid (QA) provides an animal model of Huntington disease. In vivo 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to measure the neurochemical profile non-invasively in seven animals 5 days after unilateral injection of 150 nmol of QA. C ...

Routine experimental system for defining conditions used in photodynamic therapy and fluorescence photodetection of (non-) neoplastic epithelia

Hubert van den Bergh, Pavel Kucera

A common method to induce enhanced short-term endogenous porphyrin synthesis and accumulation in cell is the topical, systemic application of 5-aminolevulinic acid or one of its derivatives. This circumvents the intravenous administration of photosensitize ...
