The focus of the reasoning training was on inductive reasoning, especially the ability to solve problems that followed a serial pattern and were manifest in executive functioning.
Butterfly wing eyespots also appear in a serial homologous pattern that, in certain species, is subject to local modification.
Knockdown of FAK or removal of HSPGs both abolished flow-induced ERK activation and MMP expression, suggesting that the mechanosensitive signaling pathways mediated by FAK and by HSPGs regulating ERK activation should be in a serial, not parallel pattern.
Thus, rats appear to use at least three cognitive processes concurrently in serial pattern learning tasks, namely, item memory involving external discriminative cues, counting- or timing-like processes for encoding serial position, and rule abstraction for encoding an internal representation of pattern structure.
New mutant mouse models allow gene-based manipulation of brain function relevant to sequential patterns, but no current animal model of spontaneous OCD-like behaviors has so far been reported to exhibit sequential super-stereotypy in the sense of a whole complex serial pattern that becomes stronger and excessively rigid.
Experiment 1 examined the role of lever location (L) and element serial position (SP) cues in rats' ability to learn to anticipate a violation element positioned at the end of a 24-element serial pattern.
The firing of some basal ganglia neurons in neostriatum and in substantia nigra codes the serial pattern of syntactic grooming chains as an entire sequence in rats [ 27, 28].
Totally 0.5 ml virus culture at various concentrations ranging from 105 to 0.1 PFU/ml in a serial 10-fold dilution pattern was detected by RT-LAMP and PCR fluorescence probing assay.
In the ordered RNR/RNN serial pattern task, rats often reduce their running speeds on trial 2 less within the RNR than within the RNN series.
Rats were trained to a high criterion on the serial pattern used in Experiment 1, then were challenged with three probe patterns that manipulated both chunk length and overall pattern length.
