This study shows that gut microbiota depletion increases food intake during binge-eating episodes in a rodent model.

This study investigates whether varied food choices affect mating and reproductive success in ladybird beetles, finding that dietary history significantly influences reproductive parameters but not food preference.

The paper validates the therapeutic effects of cyclosporine A and candidate drugs in a 3xTg-AD mouse model using combined supervised and unsupervised behavioral analysis.

The paper investigates whether personality homophily drives friendships in female water buffalo, finding that lower differences in social tension and dominance traits correlate with closer spatial associations.

The paper examines sex-specific changes in boldness and exploration in midday gerbils, finding that female colonists retain bold traits over generations while male traits decline.

This study identifies isochronous rhythms in chimpanzee displays, suggesting shared rhythmic mechanisms between humans and non-human primates.

This study examines the effects of late-life alcohol exposure on spatial memory and TFEB activity in young and aged mice, finding that aging has a greater impact than alcohol.

This study applies integrated information theory to fish school behavior, finding heterogeneous criticality with high-criticality subgroups coexisting with traditional criticality.

The paper examines how social rank in African cichlid fish affects courtship and mating success in a controlled social experiment.

The paper reviews methods for assessing bee foraging preferences and introduces an automated apparatus to measure visits, food consumption, behavior, and environmental conditions.

This study tests the peak-end rule in bumblebees by comparing their preference for sequences of rewards with and without a disappointing final reward, finding no preference for the sequence with higher total reward.

The paper compares evolutionary rates of collective and individual behavior in ants, finding faster and more varied evolution in collective behavior.

This study examines how a harmful algal bloom affected sea otter diet and benthic invertebrate communities in eastern Hokkaido, finding a temporary shift in otter prey preferences.

This study shows that female song in Alston's singing mice increases vocal display effort in both sexes, highlighting the social context of song in communication.

This study shows environmental enrichment reduces anxiety and attention deficits but not impulsivity in adgrl3.1 knockout zebrafish, indicating genetic and environmental interactions in behavioral traits.

This study identifies a compound that enhances adult hippocampal neurogenesis and improves behavioral pattern separation in both young and aged mice.

This study develops a protocol to induce territorial behaviors and dominance hierarchies in laboratory mice, revealing differences in hierarchy formation between strains.

This study examines how chronic neuropathic pain affects the discriminative stimulus effects of opioids and cocaine, finding no significant changes in opioid responses but increased dopaminergic generalization.

This study examines how chronic neuropathic pain affects self-administration of fentanyl and cocaine, finding no significant change in fentanyl intake but increased intake of a specific dose over time.

This study investigates how CB1 and CB2 receptors modulate cognitive effects of maternal immune activation and prenatal cannabis exposure in mice, finding differential roles in behavioral impairments.

The paper develops a method to analyze behavioral variability in larval zebrafish by identifying motor strategies and their transitions across different environmental cues.

This study examines how playmate familiarity and social isolation affect social play behavior in three rat strains, revealing strain-specific differences in play engagement and tactics.

This study shows that great tits adjust their social learning strategies based on environmental changes, using social information more when payoffs and environments differ.

This study shows that chronic nicotine does not improve olfactory dysfunction in young adult Presenilin-1/2 double knockout mice, which model dementia, and highlights age-related decline in olfactory function.

This study investigates how 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT1A receptor antagonists affect mescaline-induced behavioral changes in rats, finding that 5-HT2A receptors primarily mediate these effects.

This study examines chimpanzee gesture sequences to determine if they show non-random combinations and how predictability is influenced by combinatorial rules.

This study uses machine intelligence to analyze motion patterns in mice and predicts mood disorder risk before stress exposure, finding a 70% correlation with social avoidance.

This study examines how heat exposure affects mating behavior and fertility in monandrous Drosophila subobscura, finding plastic responses in females but not males.
