Integration Strategies

AbstractAnimal behaviours are demonstrably governed by sensory stimulation, previous experience and internal states like hunger. With increasing hunger, priorities shift towards foraging and feeding. During foraging, flies are known to employ efficient path integration strategies. However, general long-term activity patterns for both hungry and satiated flies in conditions of foraging remain to be better understood. Similarly, little is known about how chronic contact chemosensory stimulation affects locomotion. To address these questions, we have developed a novel, simplistic fly activity tracking setup – the Panopticon. Using a 3D-printed Petri dish inset, our assay allows recording of walking behaviour, of several flies in parallel, with all arena surfaces covered by a uniform substrate layer. We tested two constellations of providing food: i) in single patches, and ii) omnipresent within the substrate layer. Fly tracking is done with FIJI, further assessment, analysis and presentation is done with a custom-built MATLAB analysis framework. We find that starvation history leads to a long-lasting reduction in locomotion, as well as a delayed place preference for food patches not driven by immediate hunger motivation.

Low Magnitude

The purpose of this study was to reexamine Hull's Theorem 30 and Pereboom's modification of that theorem. Following 42 runway acquisition trials with consecutively (upward or downward) shifted reward magnitudes, all groups of rats were extinguished and then retrained with a medium reward magnitude. The results of the original acquisition trials seem to satisfy Hull's prediction, but during reacquisition all experimental groups attained asymptotic performance levels higher than that obtained for the control group trained with a low magnitude of reward during original acquisition. This evidence clearly suggests that neither Hull's not Pereboom's theorem is consistent with the empirical evidence.
