The Impact of a Naturalistic Stressor on Spontaneous Alternation Behavior: A New Animal Model of OCD

Over the past few decades, various animal models of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) have been developed. Similarly, various stressors have been used throughout animal research. The Spontaneous Alternation Behavioral (SAB) model is a well-established model of OCD while 2,5-dihydro-2,4,5-trimethylthiazoline (TMT) has recently become a popular naturalistic stressor. This study linked the two t...

A Note on Spontaneous Baryogenesis

The original calculation of ‘spontaneous’ baryogenesis overlooked the role played by transport of particles onto the bubbles wall. For typical ‘adiabatic’ wall thicknesses and velocities one can model the problem in a fluid approximation and the mechanism is best understood as another limit of ‘charge transport’ baryogenesis, and can produce a similar non-local effect in front of the wall. In t...

A note on continuous behavior homomorphisms

The purpose of this note is the characterization of the class of behavior homomorphisms that have nice polynomial representations. The key to this is a judicious application of duality theory together with additional continuity requirements. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Congenital hypothyroidism impairs response alternation discrimination behavior.

The behavior of six congenitally hypothyroid and six normal control rats was assessed under forced alternation fixed-ratio, alternating lever cyclic-ratio (ALCR) and progressive-ratio schedules of reinforcement. Hypothyroidism was produced by adding methimazole (MMI) to the drinking water of pregnant dams from embryonic day 16 to postnatal day 25. There were no differences in behavioral perform...
