Journal ArticleDOI
Making Decisions under Ambiguity : Judgment Bias Tasks for Assessing Emotional State in Animals
TL;DR: This work discusses the different implementations of JBTs with animals, with a focus on their potential as an accurate measure of emotional state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibition improves early memory consolidation of object information
Jos Prickaerts,Ayhan Şık,Wilma C. G. van Staveren,Guido C Koopmans,Harry W.M. Steinbusch,Franz Josef van der Staay,Jan de Vente,Arjan Blokland +7 more
TL;DR: The results and those reported in other studies indicate that elevated hippocampal cGMP levels are required to improve the memory performance of rodents in object recognition and passive avoidance learning, but not in spatial learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociable effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors on object recognition memory: acquisition versus consolidation.
Jos Prickaerts,Jos Prickaerts,Ayhan Şık,Franz Josef van der Staay,Jan de Vente,Arjan Blokland +5 more
TL;DR: The data strongly suggest that PDE5 inhibitors improve processes of consolidation of object information, whereas AChE inhibitors improved processes of acquisition of object Information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing learning and memory in pigs
TL;DR: Several promising types of tasks for use in studies of pig cognition are identified, such as versatile spatial free-choice type tasks that allow the simultaneous measurement of several behavioral domains, to facilitate the collection of reliable and valid data on pig cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Object recognition testing: Rodent species, strains, housing conditions, and estrous cycle
Nick P. van Goethem,Kris Rutten,Franz Josef van der Staay,Franz Josef van der Staay,L.A.W. Jans,Sven Akkerman,Harry W.M. Steinbusch,Arjan Blokland,José van’t Klooster,Jos Prickaerts +9 more
TL;DR: Object recognition appears to be a common ability of rodent species, but different strains have different memory capacities and sensitivities to scopolamine, individual housing leads to higher performance, and performance of females is dependent on the estrous cycle phase.
