Sex differences in a rat model of risky decision making.
Many debilitating psychiatric conditions, including drug addiction, are characterized by poor decision making and maladaptive risk-taking. Recent research has begun to probe this relationship to determine how brain mechanisms mediating risk-taking become compromised after chronic drug use. Currently, however, the majority of work in this field has used male subjects. Given the well-established ...
متن کاملSex Differences in Animal Models: Focus on Addiction.
The purpose of this review is to discuss ways to think about and study sex differences in preclinical animal models. We use the framework of addiction, in which animal models have excellent face and construct validity, to illustrate the importance of considering sex differences. There are four types of sex differences: qualitative, quantitative, population, and mechanistic. A better understandi...
متن کامل2 . 2 Sex Differences in Ischemic Outcomes : Animal Models
Biological sex is an important genetic determinant of outcome from cerebral ischemia and clinical stroke. Emerging data suggest that sex, as well as reproductive steroids, shapes ischemic cell death in brain. Female sex steroids, the estrogens and progesterone, provide robust neuroprotection in a variety of experimental settings and strongly contribute to sex‐specific responses to ischemia. The...
متن کاملSpeed-accuracy tradeoffs in animal decision making.
The traditional emphasis when measuring performance in animal cognition has been overwhelmingly on accuracy, independent of decision time. However, more recently, it has become clear that tradeoffs exist between decision speed and accuracy in many ecologically relevant tasks, for example, prey and predator detection and identification; pollinators choosing between flower species; and spatial ex...
متن کاملModeling Collective Decision-Making in Animal Groups
Granovskiy, B. 2012. Modeling Collective Decision-Making in Animal Groups. Department of Mathematics. Uppsala Dissertations in Mathematics 78. 49 pp. Uppsala. Many animal groups benefit from making decisions collectively. For example, colonies of many ant species are able to select the best possible nest to move into without every ant needing to visit each available nest site. Similarly, honey ...
