AI-Driven Framework for Enhanced and Automated Behavioral Analysis in Morris Water Maze Studies.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The Morris Water Maze (MWM) is a widely used behavioral test to assess the spatial learning and memory of animals, particularly valuable in studying neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Traditional methods for analyzing MWM experi...

Unbiased analysis of spatial learning strategies in a modified Barnes maze using convolutional neural networks.

Scientific reports
Assessment of spatial learning abilities is central to behavioral neuroscience and a useful tool for animal model validation and drug development. However, biases introduced by the apparatus, environment, or experimentalist represent a critical chall...

An explainable artificial intelligence approach to spatial navigation based on hippocampal circuitry.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Learning to navigate a complex environment is not a difficult task for a mammal. For example, finding the correct way to exit a maze following a sequence of cues, does not need a long training session. Just a single or a few runs through a new enviro...

Modular deep reinforcement learning from reward and punishment for robot navigation.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Modular Reinforcement Learning decomposes a monolithic task into several tasks with sub-goals and learns each one in parallel to solve the original problem. Such learning patterns can be traced in the brains of animals. Recent evidence in neuroscienc...

Recognition of early stage thigmotaxis in Morris water maze test with convolutional neural network.

PloS one
The Morris water maze test (MWM) is a useful tool to evaluate rodents' spatial learning and memory, but the outcome is susceptible to various experimental conditions. Thigmotaxis is a commonly observed behavioral pattern which is thought to be relate...

Effects of docosahexaenoic acid on locomotor activity in ethanol-treated HIV-1 transgenic rats.

Journal of neurovirology
Binge drinking affects the onset and progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurological disorders. The HIV-1 transgenic (HIV-1Tg) rat was created with a gag- and pol-deleted HIV-1 viral genome to mimic HIV-infected patients rec...

Cognitive memory and mapping in a brain-like system for robotic navigation.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Electrophysiological studies in animals may provide a great insight into developing brain-like models of spatial cognition for robots. These studies suggest that the spatial ability of animals requires proper functioning of the hippocampus and the en...

Maze learning by a hybrid brain-computer system.

Scientific reports
The combination of biological and artificial intelligence is particularly driven by two major strands of research: one involves the control of mechanical, usually prosthetic, devices by conscious biological subjects, whereas the other involves the co...

Intelligence-Augmented Rat Cyborgs in Maze Solving.

PloS one
Cyborg intelligence is an emerging kind of intelligence paradigm. It aims to deeply integrate machine intelligence with biological intelligence by connecting machines and living beings via neural interfaces, enhancing strength by combining the biolog...

Behavioral plasticity through the modulation of switch neurons.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
A central question in artificial intelligence is how to design agents capable of switching between different behaviors in response to environmental changes. Taking inspiration from neuroscience, we address this problem by utilizing artificial neural ...
