Anyone knows of researchers that compare #Mice and #Rats behaviour (ideally in complex tasks)? It could be in #SpatialCognition but also in other fields. Papers that directly compare both species would also be great.
-
The #Tolman "sunburst maze" results (from 1946) are often used to demonstrate shortcut ability in rats... but do they really? More on this later!
For now, would you know of any #ComputationalModels that were tested in this protocol (whether they replicate the original results or not)? We know of a few (well... 4) but would like to make sure we are not missing any.

Any suggestions for a #ScientificJournal where to publish a review on rat behaviour (linked to the #CognitiveMap theory)?
Ideally nonprofit and #OpenAccess...

Anyone has thoughts about this? Couldn't it be the mouse eating its "friend" (yes that's much less romantic I know)?
Disclaimer, I haven't read the papers in detail yet so it could be 100% what they say

With the current situation in the #US, several of my former colleagues there are looking for a #PostDocJob in #Europe, to do #BehaviouralNeuroscience or #ComputationalNeuroscience in #SpatialCognition (or adjacent).
Lots of hashtags I know..Do you know a #EU or #UK #Neuroscience lab looking to hire a postdoc in these fields? Let me know and I'll pass it on to them!
Edit: adding #RodentResearch and #humanresearch for the species concerned (in this case)

CW: List of things to be improved on Masto
Hey all, still as part of the #MoveToMasto Movement, and because we’re a bunch of honest people, let’s list all the things we think could be improved here on #Mastodon:
(I’ll start - in no specific order. I've also added workarounds when I knew about them)
(See this other post for the positive aspects)[1] No feedback on your boosts: do people like them? boost them? 🤷
[2] You can’t easily see all the answers to someone else’s post
[unless you go to their instance's website]
[3] Some great-looking accounts haven’t actually been active for a long time
[but you can see "last active date" on your "follows and followers" Settings]
[4] you can't easily quote posts
[except with some apps, also this is coming soon in Masto!]
[5] You can easily miss very relevant content
[a customizable algo might be coming at some point on our instance!]
[6] (very specific to me) there are not enough #BehaviouralNeuroscience or #NeuroEthology people
[if you know any, tell them to come here!]
[7] the new search is great but doesn’t search ALL of Mastodon’s public posts
[you can always do a search from outside, say with DuckDuckGo]
[8] you can't easily see only the posts of a profile
[but you can use https://justmytoots.com/ for this]
[9] …?Please do add your own!
Edit: I updated the list, thanks to contributions of @diazona, @thefalcon 🙏

How to best sound-proof a door between two rooms?
Say I have a rat maze experiment that involves sounds and I don’t want to disrupt my colleagues’ experiments.
Or say my rats get distracted by the noises next door and I don’t want to have loud white noise during my task.
In this case the door is almost never in use, although it would be ideal if it could work on a door that’s in use as well.#SoundProofing #Neuroscience #BehaviouralNeuroscience
PS: I cannot replace the door. The sound seems to come from the space between the door and the door frame.
