Journal ArticleDOI
The NK1 antagonist L-733,060 facilitates sequence learning
TL;DR: The authors investigated the role of substance P (SP) in sequence learning in an operant conditioning preparation, supported by a reinforcement learning model, and found that SP could be acting through the state value learning rate, modulating the effects of the reward prediction error.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherence and motion transparency in rigid and nonrigid plaids
Michael J. Wright,Kevin Gurney +1 more
TL;DR: Coherence in rigid and nonrigid plaids thus depends primarily on local processes and there is no strong interaction between rigidity and coherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential tests and biologically grounded multi-alternative decision making
TL;DR: The results suggest that the closed loop, delayed MSPRT might hold the key to explain the time course and magnitude of the firing rates observed, in macaque electrophysiological single unit recordings, during a decision task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blocking NK1 receptors disrupts the sequential and temporal organization of chain grooming in rats.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used first order transition probabilities, Variable Length Markov Models, entropy metrics and T-pattern analysis to evaluate the effects of L-733,060 on sequential and temporal aspects of spontaneously ordered behavioral sequences.
