Efficient patrolling in a radial maze relies on proactive decisions?

24 October 2013 1 4K Report

Aging releases more reactive spatial decisions in which odor cues become relevant.

Article Adaptive changes in a radial maze task: Efficient selection ...

This study is very interesting, but the results are not easy to interpret. What is the relation between reduced working memory in old rats and their preference for olfactory cues? Does visual orientation require more working memory to compare different visual scenes?

I did not understand why you mention "proactive decisions"in the question. The difference between the groups seems to be a result of aging, not proactive decisions.

Another issue: using more old rats (for instance, 50 individuals) would help you to obtain more precise results regarding olfactory against visual preferences.

In any case, I would like to know your answer to your question!
