This study shows that mild traumatic brain injury impairs spatial working memory in rats using an animal model.

The paper compares consolation behavior in bonobos and chimpanzees, finding similar tendencies but greater within-species variation.

This study shows non-human primates use a habit-based strategy rather than relational memory in a TP task, with no age-related decline in performance.

This study examines how different LED light spectra and intensities affect the predation behavior of Orius insidiosus against Frankliniella occidentalis in controlled environments.

The paper uses dynamical statistical indicators of locomotor activity in Drosophila to predict infection-related mortality with high accuracy using a Random Forest model.

This study shows that Japanese yellow hornets develop trapline foraging routes similar to bees and birds, optimizing flower visits over time without always taking the shortest path.

This study shows that touchscreen response precision in mice is influenced by explore/exploit state, reward history, and individual differences, reflecting subjective certainty in reward-guided decision making.

This study assesses the acute toxicity of 30 organic solvents on C. elegans motility and posture, finding that lipid solubility and functional groups influence adverse effects.

This study shows that WIN55,212-2 prevents scopolamine-induced spatial memory impairment by increasing cannabinoid receptor density and muscarinic tone in cortical areas.

This paper models sperm movement as a diffusive search process and develops computational models to explore how sperm motility and microenvironmental factors influence fertilization success.

The paper examines how synchronous movement affects implicit self-concept and self-other blurring using the IAT and IOS scale, finding increased self-other blurring and altered semantic associations with synchronous group images.

This study evaluates how enclosure enhancements affect green anacondas' behavior over time, finding increased activity and space use after modifications, even when habituation was expected.

This study shows that LC activity is crucial for learning to reduce responding in both extinction and overexpectation paradigms, as clonidine impaired these processes.

This study shows that repeated visual threat exposure leads to fear habituation in mice, influenced by inter-trial intervals and physiological stress.

The paper identifies a female-controlled lock-and-key mating mechanism in Aedes mosquitoes, showing how genital structures determine mating success and species competition.

This study investigates sex- and estrous-specific effects of paradoxical sleep deprivation on neurobehavioral outcomes and hippocampal neuroinflammation in rats.

This study examines how urban environments affect the timing and variability of daily activity in six bird species across different seasons, finding species- and season-specific effects.

This study investigates whether zebra finch introductory notes affect female response to song or juvenile learning, finding no influence on either.

This study shows that maternal protein restriction during pregnancy and breastfeeding reduces hippocampal neurons and behavioral issues in male rat offspring, but an enriched environment can reverse these effects.

The paper shows that African striped mice adjust their vocalizations based on social context, using different call types and temporal patterns depending on familiarity and sex of interacting individuals.

This study shows that gut microbe-derived TMA affects circadian rhythms through the host receptor TAAR5, impacting metabolism and behavior in mice.

This study shows that protein-restricted rats rapidly develop a preference for protein over carbohydrate, which is linked to increased palatability and not prior exposure.

The study shows that well-nourished cichlids exposed to frequent predators recover faster from stress and show better behavioral flexibility than overweight individuals.

This study shows that temporal uncertainty during reward cue presentation increases sign-tracking behavior in mice, and this effect persists even after uncertainty is removed.

This study shows that chronic OEA treatment after stress reduces stress-induced alcohol consumption in mice, but not relapse-like behavior.

This study assesses personality traits in synanthropic rhesus macaques using behavioral observations and novelty experiments, identifying sociability and cautiousness as repeatable traits with sex and provisioning method effects.

This study shows that peripheral opioid receptor antagonism can reverse fentanyl-induced respiratory depression without causing aversive behaviors.

This study shows leaf-cutter ants use different cutting strategies based on leaf edge geometry, with scissor-cutting preferred for wide notches and knife-cutting for narrow ones, due to mechanical challenges.

The BumbleBox is an open-source platform for automated tracking and behavioral quantification of bumblebees using low-cost components, validated in Bombus impatiens.

The paper investigates the relationship between female aggression and reproductive traits across eight Drosophila species, finding a correlation between aggression and ovariole number.
