Abstract:

Reversal learning deficits are a feature of many neuropsychiatric disorders, most notably schizophrenia. These deficits could be due, in part, to altered ability to dissipate either or both associations of previous positive (perseverance) and negative (learned non-reward) valence. Studies reported in this thesis developed an egocentric maze task and a visuospatial operant task for separate assessments of spatial reversal learning, perseverance and learned non-reward in mice. These tasks were subsequently used to assess the cognitive causes for altered performance after manipulations to brain s

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the neurocognitive systems involved in emotional processing, learning, and decision-making and considers the implications of dysfunction in these systems for psychopathy. The introductory chapter reviews the anatomy and function of the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala and discusses why impairment in these regions may contribute to psychopathy. Chapter 2 introduces an investigation of the impact of emotional material on operant behaviour that showed that individuals with psychopathy do not display appropriate emotional modulation of attention.

Abstract:

Behavioral flexibility, the ability to change behavior in accordance with the changing environment, was studied in pigeons using a series of reversal learning paradigms. All experiments involved a series of 5-trial sequences and I was interested in whether pigeons are sensitive to the reversal by switching to the other alternative after a single error. In Experiments 1 and 2, the overall probability of the two stimuli was equated over sequences, but the probability correct of the two stimuli changed across trials. In both experiments, subjects showed no sensitivity to the differences in sequen

Abstract:

The basal ganglia are a group of nuclei that signal to and from the cerebral cortex. They play an important role in cognition and in the initiation and regulation of normal motor activity. A range of characteristic motor diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's have been associated with the degeneration and lesioning of the dopaminergic neurons that target these regions. The study of dopaminergic activity has numerous benefits from understanding how and what effects neurodegenerative diseases have on behavior to determining how the brain responds and adapts to rewards.

Abstract:

Behaviour is considered to be compulsive when it is performed automatically regardless of whether it results in deleterious consequences. Although most prominently associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, compulsivity is also present in a host of other psychiatric disorders and likely represents a trans-diagnostic trait with shared dysfunctional circuitry (Gillan et al., 2016a). Despite this, no single treatment shows anticompulsive efficacy across disorders, and disorder-specific treatments are not particularly efficacious either (Grant et al., 2016). This may be because different circu

Abstract:

In order to assess flexibility in acquiring and using conflicting response rules, rats with selective lesions of the NBM or sham-lesion controls were subjected to serial reversal training in a simple operant discrimination paradigm. The NBM lesion group did not differ from the control group in acquisition of the original rules; the NBM lesion group required more time to master the changes in rules in the first reversal, but not in subsequent reversals.

Abstract:

Weighing the value of a reward against its likelihood of delivery is a necessary component of adaptive decision-making. The medial subregion of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) plays a key role in this form of cognition, as inactivation of this subregion in rats alters behaviour during risk/reward decision-making and a probabilistic assay of cognitive flexibility. The medial OFC receives dopaminergic input from midbrain neurons, yet whether dopamine (DA) modulates medial OFC function has been virtually unexplored. Here, we assessed how D₁ and D₂ receptors in the medial OFC may modulate adaptive

Substance-abusing individuals have been shown to perform poorer on decision-making tasks than non-substance abusing individuals (e.g. Bechara et al., 2001; Grant, Contoreggi, & London, 2000; Sanfey, Loewenstein, McClure, & Cohen, 2006). Research suggests that this difference in performance is likely due to cognitive deficits resulting from impaired functioning of the frontal lobes. Previous research suggests that two important cognitive processes regarding decision making are reversal learning (e.g. Fellows and Farah, 2005) and working memory (e.g. Hinson, Jameson, and Whitney, 2002; Jameson

Abstract:

In the Monty Hall Dilemma (MHD), three doors are presented with a prize behind one and participants are instructed to choose a door. One of the unchosen doors is then shown to not have the prize and the participant can choose to stay with their door or switch to the other one. The optimal strategy is to switch. Herbranson and Schroeder (2010) found that humans performed poorly on this task, whereas pigeons learned to switch readily. However, we found that pigeons learned to switch at level only slightly above humans. We also found that pigeons stay nearly exclusively when staying is the optima

Alzheimer¿s disease is associated with aging and is characterised by a progressive cognitive decline. Its onset in women coincides with the abrupt depletion of ovarian steroids prompting the investigation of utilising oestrogen replacement therapy as restoration or a preventative measure. Gonadal steroids have also recently been implicated in other disease states, particularly schizophrenia. In addition to the cognitive decline, sufferers of Alzheimer¿s disease and schizophrenia display anxiety related behaviour which gonadal steroids have also been shown to ameliorate.

This thesis extends the understanding of the neural and neurochemical contributions to two forms of behavioural adaptation, reversal learning and contingency degradation, in which stimulus/action-reward contingencies are altered. The results are interpreted within the psychological framework of the compulsivity construct, and their implications for the pathological behaviour of obsessive-compulsive-disorder (OCD) are considered. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and striatum are key brain structures involved in reversal learning, as are the neurotransmitters serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT)

Abstract:

Cette thèse propose une approche pratique pour la rétro-conception automatisée de protocoles de communication non-documentés. Les travaux existants dans ce domaine ne permettent qu'un apprentissage incomplet des spécifications ou exigent trop de stimulation de l'implémentation du protocol cible avec le risque d'être vaincu par des techniques de contre-inférence. Cette thèse adresse ces problématiques en s'appuyant sur la sémantique du protocole cible pour améliorer la qualité, la rapidité et la furtivité du processus d'inférence. Nous appliquons cette approche à la rétro-conception des deux pr

Abstract:

Les psychotropes et les médicaments à propriétés anticholinergiques (anti-muscariniques) ont été associés aux risques de chute et de troubles cognitifs chez les séniors. Nos travaux avaient pour but de mieux comprendre le rôle de ces médicaments dans les phénomènes de troubles de la mobilité et de troubles cognitifs. Dans un premier temps, nous avons montré que la consommation de 2 psychotropes ou plus par jour et/ou d’1 seul médicament à propriétés anticholinergiques par jour, dès la charge anticholinergique minimale, est associée à un déficit lors de tests d’évaluation de la marche et de la

Abstract:

The field of neuroimaging has truly become data rich, and as such, novel analytical methods capable of gleaning meaningful information from large stores of imaging data are in high demand. Those methods that might also be applicable on the level of individual subjects, and thus potentially useful clinically, are of special interest. In this dissertation we introduce just such a method, called nonlinear functional mapping (NFM), and demonstrate its application in the analysis of resting state fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) from a 242-subject subset of the IMAGEN project, a Europea

A way to teach such relations is requiring a common response in the presence of each one of them, which can result in a class of functionally equivalent stimuli. This study aimed to investigate the formation of functional classes with four dogs

Abstract:

Technology has become an integral part in the realm of education. The flipped classroom is a recent teaching method where students can watch instructional online videos outside the classroom that actively engage them in their learning process. Although this trend has gained momentum in many disciples and there are many studies available, research behind language acquisition through the flipped classroom model is limited. Still it is implemented by many teachers in the upper secondary school in Sweden. The aim of this study is to investigate the benefits and drawbacks of the flipped classroom i

Abstract:

One of the most important and challenging ``knowledge extraction' tasks in bioinformatics is the reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from DNA microarray gene expression data. Indeed, as a result of the development of high-throughput data-collection techniques, biology is experiencing a data flood phenomenon that pushes biologists toward a new view of biology--systems biology--that aims at system-level understanding of biological systems.<p><p>Unfortunately, even for small model organisms such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the number p of genes is much larger than th
