Astrocytes enhance plasticity response during reversal learning
Astrocytes play a key role in the regulation of synaptic strength and are thought to orchestrate synaptic plasticity and memory. Yet, how...

Serial reversal learning in nectar-feeding bats
We explored the behavioral flexibility of Commissaris’s long-tongued bats through a spatial serial reversal foraging task. Bats kept in captivity for...

Serial visual reversal learning in harbor seals (Phoca vitulina)
Progressively improving performance in a serial reversal learning (SRL) test has been associated with higher cognitive abilities and has served as a...

Well-developed spatial reversal learning abilities in harbor seals (Phoca vitulina)
In this study, behavioral plasticity in harbor seals was investigated in spatial reversal learning tasks of varying complexities. We started with a...

Ethosuximide Improves Cognitive Flexibility during Reversal Learning in WAG/Rij Rats with Absence Epilepsy and Comorbid Depression
AbstractThe WAG/Rij rat strain is a valid model of absence epilepsy with comorbid depression. Absence epilepsy, along with symptoms of depression, is...

Individual consistency in the learning abilities of honey bees: cognitive specialization within sensory and reinforcement modalities
The question of whether individuals perform consistently across a variety of cognitive tasks is relevant for studies of comparative cognition. The...

Kea (Nestor notabilis) show flexibility and individuality in within-session reversal learning tasks
The midsession reversal paradigm confronts an animal with a two-choice discrimination task where the reward contingencies are reversed at the...

Variation in reversal learning by three generalist mesocarnivores
Urbanization imposes novel challenges for wildlife, but also provides new opportunities for exploitation. Generalist species are commonly found in...

Flexible visual learning in nectar-foraging hornets
AbstractPollinators, such as bees, develop flexible memories of colors, patterns, and shapes, for efficient flower recognition. Here we tested...

Reversal of biological age in multiple rat organs by young porcine plasma fraction
Young blood plasma is known to confer beneficial effects on various organs in mice and rats. However, it was not known whether plasma from young...

Predictors of individual variation in reversal learning performance in three-spined sticklebacks
Behavioral flexibility is a type of phenotypic plasticity that can influence how animals cope with environmental change and is often measured with a...

Food-caching chickadees do not exhibit directional bias when learning a spatial task
AbstractAnimals frequently encounter situations in which they can choose to move either left or right. Consistent preferences to move a specific...

On the promise of personalized learning for educational equity
Students enter school with a vast range of individual differences, resulting from the complex interplay between genetic dispositions and unequal...

Environmental harshness does not affect the propensity for social learning in great tits, Parus major
According to the harsh environment hypothesis, natural selection should favour cognitive mechanisms to overcome environmental challenges. Tests of...

Transcranial direct current stimulation suggests a causal role of the medial prefrontal cortex in learning social hierarchy
Social hierarchies can be inferred through observational learning of social relationships between individuals. Yet, little is known about the causal...

Prior math achievement and inventive production predict learning from productive failure
A frequent concern about constructivist instruction is that it works well, mainly for students with higher domain knowledge. We present findings from...

Anterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex oscillations underlie learning alterations in trait anxiety in humans
Anxiety has been linked to altered belief formation and uncertainty estimation, impacting learning. Identifying the neural processes underlying these...

Cognitive flexibility in urban yellow mongooses, Cynictis penicillata
Cognitive flexibility enables animals to alter their behaviour and respond appropriately to environmental changes. Such flexibility is important in...

A ride through the epigenetic landscape: aging reversal by reprogramming
Aging has become one of the fastest-growing research topics in biology. However, exactly how the aging process occurs remains unknown. Epigenetics...
