Transition by head-on collision: mechanically mediated manoeuvres in cockroaches and small robots.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Exceptional performance is often considered to be elegant and free of 'errors' or missteps. During the most extreme escape behaviours, neural control can approach or exceed its operating limits in response time and bandwidth. Here we show that small,...

Support vector machines for explaining physiological stress response in Wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus).

Scientific reports
Physiological stress response is a crucial adaptive mechanism for prey species survival. This paper aims to identify the main environmental and/or individual factors better explaining the stress response in Wood mice, Apodemus sylvaticus. We analyzed...

Enhanced Ant Colony Optimization with Dynamic Mutation and Ad Hoc Initialization for Improving the Design of TSK-Type Fuzzy System.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
This paper proposes an enhanced ant colony optimization with dynamic mutation and ad hoc initialization, ACODM-I, for improving the accuracy of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang- (TSK-) type fuzzy systems design. Instead of the generic initialization usually used i...

How mimetic should a robotic fish be to socially integrate into zebrafish groups?

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Biomimetic robots are promising tools in animal behavioural studies. If they are socially integrated in a group of animals, they can produce calibrated social stimuli to test the animal responses. However, the design of such social robots is challeng...

Jobelyn attenuates inflammatory responses and neurobehavioural deficits associated with complete Freund-adjuvant-induced arthritis in mice.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of the patients and a major cause of work disability. Current drugs for its treatment only provide palliative effect, as cure for the dis...

Automated computer-based detection of encounter behaviours in groups of honeybees.

Scientific reports
Honeybees form societies in which thousands of members integrate their behaviours to act as a single functional unit. We have little knowledge on how the collaborative features are regulated by workers' activities because we lack methods that enable ...

Emergent coordination underlying learning to reach to grasp with a brain-machine interface.

Journal of neurophysiology
The development of coordinated reach-to-grasp movement has been well studied in infants and children. However, the role of motor cortex during this development is unclear because it is difficult to study in humans. We took the approach of using a bra...

Three-dimensional visualization and a deep-learning model reveal complex fungal parasite networks in behaviorally manipulated ants.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Some microbes possess the ability to adaptively manipulate host behavior. To better understand how such microbial parasites control animal behavior, we examine the cell-level interactions between the species-specific fungal parasite and its carpente...

A new rat-compatible robotic framework for spatial navigation behavioral experiments.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Understanding the neural substrate of information encoding and processing requires a precise control of the animal's behavior. Most of what has been learned from the rodent navigational system results from relatively simple tasks in which...
