This study investigates how decision-making evolves during initial learning in rats, finding that choice performance improves with experience while response slowing persists.

This study investigates how noradrenergic system perturbations affect reversal learning by using a block-based reversal design, finding that choice accuracy is independent of win-stay behavior and noradrenergic control influences sensitivity to positive feedback.

The paper describes an open-source, low-cost platform for presenting dynamic visual stimuli in operant behavior experiments, demonstrating its use in training rats to discriminate visual cues.
