DOI: 10.1007/s10764-019-00113-x
Abstract: Research suggests that wild animals in urban areas exhibit heightened behavioral flexibility when they encounter novel human-made objects, but most such studies compared responses in urban populations with those from disjunct populations in less disturbed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2018.09.031
Abstract: Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channel and a member of the TRP channel superfamily that acts as a sensor of intracellular redox states. TRPM2 is widely distributed in many… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.008
Abstract: We often perform actions even when they incur heavy costs or no longer serve any clear purpose. Two recent studies have independently identified heightened phasic dopamine release in the dorsomedial striatum as a predisposing factor… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2019.107832
Abstract: Deficits in behavioral flexibility are a hallmark of multiple psychiatric, neurological, and substance use disorders. These deficits are often marked by decreased function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC); however, the genesis of such executive deficits… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2017.10.011
Abstract: Behavioral flexibility (BF) performance is influenced by both psychological and physiological factors. Recent evidence suggests that impulsivity and blood glucose can affect executive function, of which BF is a subdomain. Here, we hypothesized that impulsivity,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pbb.2017.07.012
Abstract: Abstract The ability to rapidly switch behaviors in dynamic environments is fundamental to survival across species. Recognizing when an ongoing behavioral strategy should be replaced by an alternative one requires the integration of a diverse… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c04528
Abstract: Repeated excessive alcohol consumption increases the risk of developing cognitive decline and dementia. Hazardous drinking among older adults further increases such vulnerabilities. To investigate whether alcohol induces cognitive deficits in older adults, we performed a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01611-y
Abstract: Lack of behavioral flexibility has been proposed as one underlying cause of compulsions, defined as repetitive behaviors performed through rigid rituals. However, experimental evidence has proven inconsistent across human and animal models of compulsive-like behavior.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icaa032
Abstract: The complexity of an animal's interaction with its physical and/or social environment is thought to be associated with behavioral flexibility and cognitive phenotype, though we know little about this relationship in amphibians. We examined differences… read more here.
