Computational neuroscience across the lifespan: Promises and pitfalls

Author(s): van den Bos W; Bruckner R; Nassar MR; Mata R; Eppinger B;

In recent years, the application of computational modeling in studies on age-related changes in decision making and learning has gained in popularity. One advantage of computational models is that they provide access to latent variables that cannot be direc ...

Relapse after intermittent access to cocaine: Discriminative cues more effectively trigger drug seeking than do conditioned cues

Author(s): Ndiaye NA; Shamleh SA; Casale D; Castaneda-Ouellet S; Laplante I; Robinson MJF; Samaha AN; ...

Rationale: When people with drug addiction encounter cues associated with drug use, this can trigger cravings and relapse. These cues can include conditioned stimuli (CSs) signaling drug delivery a ...

Post-reinforcement pauses during slot machine gambling are moderated by immersion

Author(s): W Spencer Murch

The post-reinforcement pause (PRP) is an operant effect in which response latencies increase on trials following the receipt and consumption of reward. Human studies demonstrate analogous effects in electronic gambling machines that utilise random ratio rei ...

Does phasic dopamine release cause policy updates?

Author(s): Carter F; Cossette MP; Trujillo-Pisanty I; Pallikaras V; Breton YA; Conover K; Caplan J; Solis P; Voisard J; Yaksich A; Shizgal P; ...

Phasic dopamine activity is believed to both encode reward-prediction errors (RPEs) and to cause the adaptations that these errors engender. If so, a rat working for optogenetic stimulation of dopa ...

Nonlinear dynamic modeling and model-based AI-driven control of a magnetoactive soft continuum robot in a fluidic environment

Author(s): Moezi SA; Sedaghati R; Rakheja S;

In recent years, magnetoactive soft continuum robots (MSCRs) with multimodal locomotion capabilities have emerged for various biomedical applications. Developments in nonlinear dynamic models and effective control methods for MSCRs are deemed vital not only ...

Reinforcement learning for automatic quadrilateral mesh generation: A soft actor-critic approach

Author(s): Pan J; Huang J; Cheng G; Zeng Y;

This paper proposes, implements, and evaluates a reinforcement learning (RL)-based computational framework for automatic mesh generation. Mesh generation plays a fundamental role in numerical simulations in the area of computer aided design and engineering ...

Trust-Augmented Deep Reinforcement Learning for Federated Learning Client Selection

Author(s): Rjoub G; Wahab OA; Bentahar J; Cohen R; Bataineh AS;

In the context of distributed machine learning, the concept of federated learning (FL) has emerged as a solution to the privacy concerns that users have about sharing their own data with a third-party server. FL allows a group of users (often referred to as ...

Neural evidence for age-related deficits in the representation of state spaces

Author(s): Ruel A; Bolenz F; Li SC; Fischer A; Eppinger B;

Under high cognitive demands, older adults tend to resort to simpler, habitual, or model-free decision strategies. This age-related shift in decision behavior has been attributed to deficits in the representation of the cognitive maps, or state spaces, nece ...
