This study examines tail kinematics in dogs during computer-controlled tasks to identify emotional states, finding that tail wagging correlates with positive anticipation and increased speed in negative conditions.

This paper challenges the interpretation of animal behavior as inferential reasoning, arguing that correct choices in experimental tasks can result from stimulus-response associations rather than logical reasoning.

The paper tests whether goldfish prefer informative over non-informative choices in a reinforcement learning task, finding they do not, unlike mammals and birds.

The paper shows that DLS neural activity in rats correlates with temporal behavior, particularly in response to the second of two sequential stimuli.

This study shows that temperature modulates striatal population activity and decision-making in rats, suggesting that neural dynamics, not movement kinematics, drive time-based decisions.

This study shows that striatal neuron dynamics predict and are necessary for duration judgments in rats performing a psychophysical task.
