Habituation and Dishabituation in the Olfactory Bulb: From Neural Responses to Behavior
<p>Habituation and dishabituation modulate the neural resources and behavioral significance allocated to incoming stimuli across the sensory systems. The purpose of the research presented in this dissertation was to characterize these processes in the mouse olfactory bulb (OB) and to determine if …

Behavioural evidence for the perception of individual identity and gender via the echolocation calls of a high duty cycle bat, Rhinolophus clivosus
… of sonar called echolocation. In habituation-dishabituation experiments, a high duty cycle echolocating bat, Rhinolophus clivosus, dishabituated significantly when echolocation calls of a different gender or individual were played to the habituation. Strong individual and gender signatures but …

Examining Individual Identity in Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) Acoustic Repertoires as a Function of Call Type
… multiple call types, we conducted habituation-dishabituation playback experiments with five belugas at Georgia Aquarium, supplemented with calls from an outgroup at Oceanogràfic de Valencia. Responses were measured as the number and duration of looks and approaches toward the speaker and …

Neurophysiological evaluation of sensory gating and selective attention in schizotypal personality
… latencies of most ERP components, selective dishabituation of the orienting response to the rare salient stimuli, response-set deficits, intrusion effects, as well as large post-response cognitive processing of stimuli. Results were consistent with ERP abnormalities found in schizophrenics …

The Effect of Maternal Separation and Postnatal Oxytocin Administration on Social Recognition in Adolescent Female Mice
… encountered and novel mouse during the dishabituation session. In Experiment 2, postnatal oxytocin injections did not substantially affect the expression of either social recognition behavior or social odor preferences by control-reared females during adolescence. By contrast, postnatal …

The Ability of Four-Month-Olds to Discriminate Changes in Vocal Information in Multimodal Displays
… showed significant response recovery (i.e., dishabituation) to the change in voice regardless of the synchronicity condition. In Experiment 2, 4-month-old infants received the same face+voice test recordings used in Experiment 1, but now within a fixed trial habituation procedure. Again, …

The role of echolocation in communication in a high duty cycle echolocating bat, Rhinolophus clivosus (Chiroptera: Rhinolophidae): an experimental approach
… sexual selection. Using classical habituation – dishabituation playback experiments, I tested the ability of Geoffroy's horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus clivosus, to discriminate between echolocation calls of heterospecifics with either discrete or overlapping resting frequencies. I subsequently used …
