When biologists study cooperation in animals, they usually offer just a single task at a time. But what happens when animals ...

People with health anxiety tend to get tangled up in problematic behaviors, such as reassurance-seeking, excessive body checking and avoidance. These behaviors act like a vortex, sucking you into that ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

Pipistrelle bats have a magnetic compass and calibrate it at sunset, according to a new study. An international team of researchers led by the University of Oldenburg has used behavioral experiments ...

The accurate detection and quantification of rodent behavior forms a cornerstone of basic biomedical research. Current data-driven approaches, which segment free exploratory behavior into clusters, ...

Researchers are utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze the behavior of laboratory mice more efficiently and reduce the number of animals in experiments. Researchers at ETH Zurich are utilising ...

Sequential working memory, the ability to actively maintain sequential information, is essential for human cognition. The neural representation of each item in sequential working memory is thought to ...

A meadow grasshopper (Pseudochorthippus parallelus). This species is widespread across most of Europe and is commonly used as a model organism in evolutionary biology. If an experiment is repeated ...
