Predatory hunting is an important type of innate behavior evolutionarily conserved across the animal king-dom.It is typically composed of a set of sequential actions,including prey search,pursuit,attack,and consumptio...

The biogenic amine octopamine(OA,invertebrate counterpart of nora-drenaline)plays critical roles in the regulation of olfactory behavior.Historically,OA has been thought to mediate appetitive but not aversive learning...
There is emerging evidence implicating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in reward, including palatable food reinforcement and alcohol-based reward circuitry. While recent findings suggest that mesolimbic structures, su...
Individual differe nces in cog nition have been shown to be common in some animal taxa, and recent evidenee suggests that an individual's personality can be associated with an individuads cognitive strategy. We tested...
To address the issue of how hippocampal neurons are involved into learning progress, we studied c-Fos expression in rat hippocampal subfields at different stages of appetitive instrumental learning. To model the first...

The mushroom body(MB),a bilateral brain structure pos-sessing about 2000-2500 neurons per hemisphere,plays a central role in olfactory learning and memory in Dros-ophila melanogaster.Extensive studies have demonstrat-...
