Recent technical advancement in the manipulation and measurement of neural cell/circuit activities in freely behaving animals allow us to bridge the gap between neural processes and behavior expression. While neural signals are processed on the second timescales, the nature of behavior is time-consuming effort to gain interaction with environmental stimuli for adaptation. Therefore, a bundle of neural activities cannot simply represent entire behavioral processes, but rather segmented behavior components. Hence, we must reconsider how such bundles compose total outputs forming functional set of behavior, and thus, how integrated behavior can be broken into neural modular components, such as sensory detection, element recognition, behavior drive, and action/movement execution, by neural activity timescale units. Our refined protocol on behavioral studies is more effective in terms of determining what we observe in animal behavior and how we interpret neuro behavior relationship for vital contribution to basic and translational studies.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135912938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A trial consisted of a forced choice of four arms in a learning phase, retention interval, and a free choice among eight arms in a test phase. In Experiment 1, rats were given two daily trials with 10 s or 1 min. retention intervals between the learning and the test phases and with 5, 30, or 60 min. intertrial intervals. In the 1 min. retention condition, proactive inference indexed by decline in performance from the first trial to the second trial was observed regardless of intertrial intervals. In contrast, such decline in performance was not observed for all the intertrial interval conditions in the 10 s retention condition. In Experiment 2, rats were tested with a 1 min. retention interval and 5 or 120 min. intertrial intervals. Significant proactive interference was observed again for a 5 min. intertrial interval condition replicating the results of Experiment 1. In contrast, proactive interference was eliminated completely by lengthening the intertrial interval to 120 min. These results suggest that discriminability among memories in current and prior trials in terms of elapsed time is a determinant of proactive interference in the radial maze performance in rats.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131996652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prairie voles display a rich social behavioral repertoire involving pair bonding and consoling behavior that are not observed in typical laboratory species. Oxytocin and vasopressin play critical roles in regulating pair bonding and consoling behavior. Oxytocin and vasopressin receptors show remarkable diversity in expression patterns both between and within species. Receptor expression patterns are associated with species differences in social behaviors. Variations in receptor genes have been linked to individual variation in expression patterns. We propose that “evolvability” in the oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes allows for the repurposing of ancient maternal and territorial circuits to give rise to novel social behaviors such as pair bonding, consoling and selective aggression. We further propose that the evolvability of these receptor genes is due to their transcriptional sensitivity to genomic variation. This model provides a foundation for investigating the molecular mechanisms giving rise to the remarkable diversity in social behaviors found in vertebrates.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132909288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monogamous pair-bond, which is widespread in birds, is a form of cooperation for breeding between a male and a female. Many previous studies reported that altruistic behaviour within pair-bonds occurred primarily from males to females. However, most of those findings were obtained from the observations during the breeding season, and therefore it remains unknown what sex-different patterns of altruistic behaviour occur outside the breeding season for life-long monogamous birds. The present observation study investigated sex differences of altruistic behaviour within pair-bonds outside the breeding context in a life-long monogamy, large-billed crows ( Corvus macrorhynchous ). Specifically, frequency of allopreening and allofeeding were compared between sexes and also between pair-bonds. We found that frequency of both behaviour was different between sexes, and inconsistent within and between pair-bonds. Our findings suggest that altruistic behaviour within pair-bonds may occur asymmetrically between sexes but vary between pair-bonds in large-billed crows.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117013824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this project were to evaluate how chimpanzees and humans respond to movies created by professional artists and to contribute to an outreach event at the zoo by demonstrating the entire research process to the public. We asked the artists to make short movies ‘for chimpanzees’ and presented those movies to chimpanzee and human participants while tracking the participants’ eye movements using an eye-tracker. Both chimpanzees and humans looked at similar elements of movies, such as appearance of animal figures, targets of actions, and the center of abstract concentric figures. The differences between chimpanzees and humans were also pronounced; for example, human showed strong ‘center bias’ by keeping their gaze around the center of the screen, while chimpanzee did so to a lesser extent. This study not only offered comparative knowledge about responses to (artistic) movies in chimpanzees and humans but demonstrated how non-scientists can learn comparative psychology through an outreach project.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126125040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies reported that behavioral synchronization occurs between dogs and their owners by affiliative bonds and dogs’ social skills for communicating with humans acquired by domestication. Horses also have such bonds and skills like dogs, however, there have been few empirical studies of behavioral synchronization between horses and humans. Therefore, we investigated whether the gait synchronization occurs between the horse and his / her familiar human participant while they were walking together by using angular statistics and how horses and humans interacted by analyzing entrainment. Only when human gait rhythm was controlled to be constant, gait synchronization between horse and human participants was found, though entrainment occurred only in humans. When horses and humans were walking in a more natural and uncontrolled situation, entrainment occurred in both horses and humans, though their walk adjustment did not reach synchronization. These results suggest that gait synchronization occurs between horses and humans and walk adjustment from humans is involved in such synchronization.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130538364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measuring devices have been improved miniaturization and light-weighting and they make it possible to measure a dog’s electrocardiogram (ECG) under a free moving condition. HRV has been known as an index not only of physical activity but also to evaluate an animal’s emotional status. One concern is a difficulty in dissociating physical activity and emotional status in HRV parameters. In this study, we examined how the physical activity component and the emotional component affect in HRV. We measured HRV and acceleration of the dogs under two conditions, the physical activity (motion) condition and the reward condition where food treats were emotional stimuli and under the motion condition. As a result, a dog’s HRV values were linearly regressed on the acceleration data. SDNN (Standard Deviation of NN intervals) affected by the composite acceleration in reward condition while rMSSD (root Mean Square of Successive Differences) affected in motion condition. These suggested that the physical activity and HRV indices distribute on regression lines and emotional stimuli influences each HRV indices differently.","PeriodicalId":260786,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Animal Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133801489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
