As discussed in Section 5.2.3, this can have profound implications in the assessment of how advanced rat pattern vision is.

This rig, and the stimulus presentation design, allowed a few important methodological advances over earlier behavioral investigations of rat pattern vision.

Still, even before the very recent surge of interest in rodent vision (see Section 5), a few behavioral studies further explored the perceptual strategies underlying rat pattern vision and object recognition.

Here, I review these recent investigations, as well as earlier studies of rat pattern vision, to provide an historical overview and a critical summary of the status of the knowledge about rat object vision.

In the following, I will critically review most of the literature concerned with rat pattern vision, shape processing and visual object recognition, arguing that there is enough behavioral evidence to suggest that this species does embody some of the core mechanisms underlying invariant object recognition.

While the studies of Zoccolan and colleagues [118 120] and Vermaercke and Op de Beeck [121] (and, before them, Minini and Jeffery [146] and Simpson and Gaffan [147]) have investigated rat higher-level vision using rather complex object discrimination tasks, other authors have recently targeted a lower-level aspect of rat pattern vision – the processing of collinearity [122,126,127].

The goal of the present work was to characterise the effects of selegiline on the rat sleep pattern.

Multivariate assessment of unconditioned locomotor behavior using the rat Behavioral Pattern Monitor (BPM) developed in our laboratory has shown that hyperactivity includes complex multifaceted behaviors.

Previous studies have demonstrated multiple differences between Spalax and rat expression patterns under hypoxia, thus, it is expected that many of the patterns observed here may be unique to Spalax.
