Spontaneous actions
Proceedings of the Royal Society (PDF)
An invited review about the evolutionary roots of free will, largely presenting data on spontaneous actions and decision-making in invertebrates. |
 |
Multiple learning systems
Behavioral Processes (PDF)
Learning from trial and error involves two hierarchically interacting learning systems. |
 |
Habit Formation
Current Biology (PDF)
Extended training can lead to habit formation even in fruit flies. In the Drosophila brain, the mushrom-bodies regulate this process. |
