Request a detailed protocol X- and y-coordinates of a mouse’s position were extracted from the video tracking data. The timestamps were collected when a mouse entered/exited the threat and reward sites. A lap was counted as a ‘full’ lap when a mouse exited a reward site, passed a threat site, and entered the other reward site. A lap was counted as a ‘half’ lap when a mouse exited a reward site, entered a threat site, and returned to the same reward site.

Abstract Outcomes can vary even when choices are repeated. Such ambiguity necessitates adjusting how much to learn from each outcome by tracking its variability. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been reported to signal the expected outcome and its discrepancy from the actual outcome (prediction error), two variables essential for controlling the learning rate. However, the source of signals that shape these coding properties remains unknown.

Abstract : Simple Summary Precisely estimating the extent of the conflict between livestock and wild animals is crucial for making a proper management policy. Sika deer in the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park restrictedly distributes along the Sino-Russia border and fail to dispersal further into inland China, which hampers the ecosystem restoration flagged with tiger and leopard.
