Male copulatory behavior of adult female mice given slow-release capsules of testosterone was examined in animals that developed in utero contiguous to two males (mFm) or to two females (fFf). Other females of unspecified uterine position which were injected with testosterone propionate on the day of birth as well as intact males also were examined. mFm and fFf females did not differ on any measure; latency to the first mount, number of mount bouts, number of mount bouts with genital thrusting. The perinatally androgenized females exhibited more mount bouts and more bouts accompanied by genital thrusting than did mFm and fFf subjects. The former also displayed more mount bouts with thrusting on the second pair of tests than males. Lastly, a greater proportion of perinatally androgenized females than mFm or fFf animals displayed male sexual behavior two weeks following removal of the testosterone-containing capsule.

Article Synopsis
- Contextual memories are important for survival but need to fade when they're no longer useful; extinction creates a competing memory.
- Recent research shows that specific interneurons (SST-INs) in the ventral hippocampus are activated during the extinction of fear-based memories.
- Manipulating these SST-INs affects behavior related to freezing responses, indicating their crucial role in memory extinction across different types of conditioning, not just related to fear.
Repeatability and predictability of lying and feeding behaviours in dairy cattle.

Article Synopsis
- Precision livestock technologies can detect subtle behavioral changes in farm animals, which serve as early indicators of disease or stress.
- Individual baseline behaviors vary significantly among animals, necessitating the measurement of both repeatability (consistent mean behaviors) and predictability (day-to-day variation) to identify abnormalities effectively.
- This study quantified the repeatability and predictability of lying and feeding behaviors in dairy cows using sensor data, revealing significant individual differences, with repeatability values of 0.38 for feeding and 0.34 for lying, as well as predictability coefficients of 0.46 and 0.29, respectively.
Repeated exposure to virtual reality decreases reliance on visual inputs for balance control in healthy adults.

Postural control may encounter acute challenges when individuals are immersed in a virtual reality (VR) environment, making VR a potential pertinent tool for enhancing balance capacity. Nonetheless, the effects of repeated exposure to VR on balance control remain to be fully elucidated. Fifty-five healthy participants stood upright for six bouts of 90 s each in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment using a head-mounted display (repeated VR exposure).

Virtual fencing (VF) is a modern fencing technology that requires the animal to wear a device (e.g., a collar) that emits acoustic signals to replace the visual cue of traditional physical fences (PF) and, if necessary, mild electric signals.

Prolonged sedentary behaviour (SB) i.e. longer bouts, is suggested to have a range of negative health effects, independent of habitual light and medium-to-vigorous physical activity (LIPA or MVPA).
