Topic: PC monitor

Recent studies have demonstrated the capabilities of rodents for manipulation of a joystick to control the movements of a sipper tube or receive rewards based on displacements of a manipulandum. However, a behavioral paradigm where the rats perceive the changes in the motion direction of a cursor on PC monitor has not been introduced yet. In this work, we present a novel behavioral paradigm that allows rats to control a cursor on a PC monitor by operating levers for reaching targets. The control of the cursor is performed in one-dimensional space depending on the limited cognitive and visual c
