This study outlines two novel protocols for examining context specific recall in animals prior to embarking on neurobiological studies. The approach is distinct from and contrasts with studies investigating associative familiarity that depend upon procedural variations of the widely used object recognition task. It uses an event arena which are trained across numerous sessions search for, find dig up reward sandwells during sample choice trials - a prominent spatial rodent. could be laid out...
To understand the neural basis of behavior, it is essential to sensitively and accurately measure activity at single neuron spike resolution. Extracellular electrophysiology delivers this, but has biases in neurons detects imperfectly resolves their action potentials. minimize these limitations, we developed a silicon probe with much smaller denser recording sites than previous designs, called Neuropixels Ultra (
The study of social dominance interactions between animals offers a window onto the decision-making involved in establishing hierarchies and an opportunity to examine changes behavior observed certain neurogenetic disorders. Competitive interactions, such as widely used tube test, reflect this decision-making. Previous studies have focused on different patterns seen dominant submissive animal, neural correlates effortful believed mediate outcome encounters, interbrain correlations activity....
