Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive decline. Regenerative strategies aim to replace lost neurons and modulate the inflammatory milieu to restore neural networks. This study e...
Social aversion is a key feature of numerous mental health disorders, yet we lack adequate behavioral tools to interrogate social aversion in model systems. Here, we developed a behavioral task-selective access to unrestricted social interaction (SAU...
Social buffering is a phenomenon whereby the stress response of anyone exposed to a distressing stimulus is alleviated by the presence of conspecific(s). In this study, we aimed to determine whether brief buffering (only 3 min) with conspecific immed...

Robots are increasingly used alongside Skinner boxes to train animals in operant conditioning tasks. Similarly, animals are being employed in artificial intelligence research to train various algorithms. However, both types of experiments rely on uni...
Interactions between vehicle-pedestrian at intersections often lead to safety-critical situations. This study aims to model the crash avoidance behaviors of vehicles during interactions with pedestrians in near-miss scenarios, contributing to the dev...
Neural circuits with specific structures and diverse neuronal firing features are the foundation for supporting intelligent tasks in biology and are regarded as the driver for catalyzing next-generation artificial intelligence. Emulating neural circu...

Avoidance behavior is a key contributor to the transition from acute pain to chronic pain disability. Yet, there has been a lack of ecologically valid paradigms to experimentally investigate pain-related avoidance. To fill this gap, we developed a pa...
Zebrafish have quickly emerged as a species of choice in preclinical research, holding promise to advance the field of behavioral pharmacology through high-throughput experiments. Besides biological and heuristic considerations, zebrafish also consti...
For the first time, a field programmable transistor array (FPTA) was used to evolve robot control circuits directly in analog hardware. Controllers were successfully incrementally evolved for a physical robot engaged in a series of visually guided be...
