Rule of thumb for revising manuscripts: for every point the reviewer raises, change something, anything in the manuscript.

Operant control slows progression of ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as 'Lou Gerhig's disease') is a debilitating and eventually fatal disease in which patients suffer from progressive paralysis. However, they are only losing their movements,...[more]

operant pain control
Operant conditioning is the means by which we learn to control our environment. It works by generating variable behavior ("trying out") and then looking, which of the variables in the environment ("stimuli") vary in the ...[more]

World-learning and self-learning: two biological processes underlying operant conditioning
Our article entitled "The biology of psychology: Simple conditioning?" has just appeared in Communicative & Integrative Biology. It is an open access article, so it's free. My postdoc Julien Colomb and I wrote it aft...[more]

Cognitive Daily: Operant conditioning at the NC Zoo
Dave Munger over at Cognitive Daily has a great post on how zoos use operant conditioning for the welfare of their animals. They use operant conditioning on basically all mammals, maybe even most vertebrates there, for e...[more]

Prep. #8: the first yoked control
The yoked control in operant conditioning 'yokes' one animal to another in terms of stimuli received. In my attempts to establish operant learning in isolated leech ganglia, if one preparation received a given number of ...[more]

Prep. #9: another yoked control following the trend
Somehow, I didn't really manage to adjust the posterior stimulation properly in this 9th preparation in my attempts to establish operant learning in isolated leech ganglia, it generated a swim/crawl ratio of 9-1. Don't k...[more]

Prep. #10: the most boring control of them all - usually
Obviously, when you just observe the experiment and don't do anything to it at all, that's the most boring experiment one can think of. Nothing happens, in my special case of attempting to establish operant learning in ...[more]

Operant conditioning of a reflex?
Ever since I got into operant conditioning now over a good dozen years ago, I was aware that there was a researcher in New York studying operant learning in rats in a very unusual experimental setup. His lab triggers the...[more]

As the three people reading this blog know, I'm currently trying hard to somehow establish operant learning in isolated leech ganglia. This is preparation number eleven after some initial trying-out and getting used to t...[more]

Flies are creatures of habit, too
