The Structure of Bonobo Copulation Calls During Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Sex. (2011)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., & Zuberbühler, K. (2011). The Structure of Bonobo Copulation Calls During Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Sex. Ethology: international journal of behavioural biology, 117(12), 1158-1169. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1439-0310.2011.01975.x

Copulation calls in primates are usually identified as sexually selected signals that promote the reproductive success of the caller. In this study, we investigated the acoustic structure of copulation calls in bonobos (Pan paniscus), a great ape kno...

Cholinergic mechanisms of episodic memory: what specific behavioural tasks can tell us about specific neural mechanisms. (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Eacott, M. (2013). Cholinergic mechanisms of episodic memory: what specific behavioural tasks can tell us about specific neural mechanisms. Brain Research Bulletin, 92, 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brainresbull.2011.09.008

Understanding the neural basis of episodic memory is crucial for understanding how to treat memory loss in normal ageing as well as in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. However, it is only recently that episodic memory has been able to be reliab...

Differential outcomes aid the formation of categorical relationships between stimuli (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Child, S., & Lopez-Crespo, G. (2011). Differential outcomes aid the formation of categorical relationships between stimuli. Behavioural Brain Research, 222(1), 270-273. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2011.03.036

The differential outcome effect is when learning is enhanced through the application of different outcomes to different conditions of a task. Here we explore whether one difference in learning with differential outcomes is an enhanced categorisation...

Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory (2011)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Fitchett, A., Eacott, M., & Baxter, M. (2011). Medial septal cholinergic neurons are necessary for context-place memory but not episodic-like memory. Hippocampus, 21(9), 1021-1027. https://doi.org/10.1002/hipo.20814

Loss of cholinergic cortical input is associated with diseases in which episodic memory impairment is a prominent feature, but the degree to which this neurochemical lesion can account for memory impairment in humans with neurodegenerative diseases r...

Bonobos Extract Meaning from Call Sequences (2011)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., & Zuberbühler, K. (2011). Bonobos Extract Meaning from Call Sequences. PLoS ONE, 6(4), Article e18786. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0018786

Studies on language-trained bonobos have revealed their remarkable abilities in representational and communication tasks. Surprisingly, however, corresponding research into their natural communication has largely been neglected. We address this issue... Read More about Bonobos Extract Meaning from Call Sequences.

Female bonobos use copulation calls as social signals. (2011)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., Pika, S., Gruber, T., & Zuberbuhler, K. (2011). Female bonobos use copulation calls as social signals. Biology Letters, 7(4), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2010.1227

During mating events, females of many primate species produce loud and distinct vocalizations known as ‘copulation calls’. The adaptive significance of these signals is considered to be in promoting the caller's direct reproductive success. Here, we...
