Reinforcement learning is one of the main adaptive mechanisms that is both well documented in animal behaviour and giving rise to computational studies in animats and robots. In th...
Prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in the ability to switch behavioral strategies in response to changes in reward contingencies. A recent experimental study has shown tha...
Abstract. Neurobiological studies showed the important role of Centeral Pattern Generators for spinal cord in the control and sensory feedback of animals' locomotion. In this ...
