Learning improves growth rate in grasshoppers.
To quantify the adaptive significance of insect learning, we documented the behavior and growth rate of grasshoppers (Schistocerca americana) in an environment containing two artificial food types, one providing a balanced diet of protein and carbohydrate, which maximizes growth, and the other being carbohydrate-deficient, which is unsuitable for growth. Grasshoppers in the Learning treatment e...
متن کاملP-36: Crocin Improves Maturation Rate of ImmatureMouse Oocytes
Background: The pregnancy rates from oocytes matured in vitro are much lower than those of in vivo stimulation cycles, indicating that optimization of IVM remains a challenge. Reduced developmental competence of oocytes matured in vitro indicates that current culture systems for oocytes maturation do not adequately support nuclear and/or cytoplasmic maturation. Therefore in this study, we evalu...
متن کاملAnti-transforming growth factor-beta1 antibody improves survival rate following partial hepatectomy in cirrhotic rats.
In a cirrhotic liver, regenerative ability is so impaired that massive resection easily complicates postoperative liver dysfunction, which frequently leads to life-threatening multiple-organ failure. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is considered to be a key cytokine regulating both hepatocyte proliferation and matrix expression in fibrosis. Therefore, we investigated the effect of ...
متن کاملDifferential Negative Reinforcement Improves Classifier System Learning Rate in Two-Class Problems with Unequal Base Rates
The effect of biasing negative reinforcement levels on learning rate and classification accuracy in a learning classifier system (LCS) was investigated. Simulation data at five prevalences (base rates) were used to train and test the LCS. Erroneous decisions made by the LCS during training were punished differentially according to type: false positive (FP) or false negative (FN), across a range...
متن کاملOptimal classifier feedback improves cost-benefit but not base-rate decision criterion learning in perceptual categorization.
Unequal payoffs engender separate reward- and accuracy-maximizing decision criteria; unequal base rates do not. When payoffs are unequal, observers place greater emphasis on accuracy than is optimal. This study compares objective classifier (the objectively correct response) with optimal classifier feedback (the optimal classifier's response) when payoffs or base rates are unequal. It provides ...
