We present a computational model of approach learning in a T-maze environment. We show that our model learns the correct sequence of six decisions that lead to the location of positive reinforcement and in a manner consistent with experimental observations. Our model exhibits many properties that are characteristic of animal learning in maze environments including delay conditioning, secondary ...

introduction: the role of ovarian hormones and nitric oxide (no) in learning and memory and their interaction has been widely investigated. the present study carried out to evaluate different effect of l-name on spatial learning and memory of ovariectomized (ovx) and sham operated rats. methods: 32 rats were divided into 4 groups: 1) sham 2) ovx 3) sham-ln and 4) ovx-ln. the animals of groups 3...

objective(s) learning is defined as the acquisition of information and skills, while subsequent retention of that information is called memory. the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of boswellia papyrifera on learning and memory paradigms in mice and rats. materials and methods this study was held at the department of pharmacology, faculty of pharma...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has always tried to emulate the greatest virtue of humans: their intelligence. However, although there have been many efforts to reach this goal, at a glance we notice that the intelligence of AI systems barely resembles that of humans. Today, available methods that assess AI systems are focused on using empirical techniques to measure the performance of algorithms ...

The Cell-DEVS formalism was created as an extension of cellular automata for modeling complex systems using a discrete event formal approach. We examine the application of the Cell-DEVS formalism to a maze-solving application. The model uses the CD++ toolkit to model and simulate the proposed maze applications, showing that this approach permits solving complex applications by implementing them...

In bacteria, programmed cell death is mediated through the unique genetic system called "addiction module," which consists of a pair of genes encoding a stable toxin and an unstable antitoxin. The mazEF system is known as an addiction module located on the Escherichia coli chromosome. MazF is a stable toxin, and MazE is a labile antitoxin interacting with MazF to form a complex. MazE and the Ma...
