Abstract: MicroRNAs are known to be critical regulators of neuronal plasticity. The highly conserved, hypoxia-regulated microRNA-210 (miR-210) has been shown to be associated with long-term memory in invertebrates and dysregulated in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disease models.… read more here.

Abstract: The ability to adapt to changing environments is crucial for survival and has evolved based on socio-ecological factors. Goats and sheep are closely related, with similar social structures, body sizes and domestication levels, but different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0117
Abstract: The ability to flexibly adjust behaviour to social and non-social challenges is important for successfully navigating variable environments. Social competence, i.e. adaptive behavioural flexibility in the social domain, allows individuals to optimize their expression of… read more here.

Abstract: Chronic neuropathic pain and psychological stress interact to compromise goal‐directed control over behaviour following mild psychological stress. The dorsomedial (DMS) and dorsolateral (DLS) striatum in the rat are crucial for the expression of goal‐directed and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jne.13128
Abstract: Behavioural flexibility is essential to adapt to a changing environment and depends on the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Testosterone administration decreases behavioural flexibility. It is well known that testosterone is produced in the gonads, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.4366
Abstract: Behavioural flexibility, the ability to alter behaviour in response to environmental feedback, and to relinquish previously successful solutions to problems, is a crucial ability in allowing organisms to adapt to novel environments and environmental change;… read more here.
