LaDage L
Integr Comp Biol
. 2015 May;
55(3):372-83.
PMID: 25980567
Previous to the 1980's, the prevailing neuroscience dogma held that no new neurons were produced in the brains of adult mammals. Now, we understand that the production of new neurons,...

Croston R, Branch C, Kozlovsky D, Roth 2nd T, LaDage L, Freas C, et al.
Integr Comp Biol
. 2015 May;
55(3):354-71.
PMID: 25964497
Harsh environments and severe winters have been hypothesized to favor improvement of the cognitive abilities necessary for successful foraging. Geographic variation in winter climate, then, is likely associated with differences...

LaDage L, Maged R, Forney M, Roth 2nd T, Sinervo B, Pravosudov V
Behav Neurosci
. 2013 Jun;
127(4):555-65.
PMID: 23731068
Differences in an animal's spatial environment can have dramatic effects on the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with spatial processing. Animals in spatially impoverished environments have decreased hippocampal...

Roth 2nd T, Chevalier D, LaDage L, Pravosudov V
Dev Neurobiol
. 2013 Feb;
73(6):480-5.
PMID: 23382130
Enhancements to memory are associated with enhanced neural structures that support those capabilities. A great deal of work has examined this relationship in the context of natural variation in spatial...

Roth 2nd T, Gallagher C, LaDage L, Pravosudov V
Brain Behav Evol
. 2012 Jan;
79(3):181-90.
PMID: 22286546
In environments where resources are difficult to obtain and enhanced cognitive capabilities might be adaptive, brain structures associated with cognitive traits may also be enhanced. In our previous studies, we...

Roth T, LaDage L, Pravosudov V
Anim Cogn
. 2011 Jul;
15(2):149-54.
PMID: 21773746
Many animals use spatial memory. Although much work has examined the accuracy of spatial memory, few studies have explicitly focused on its longevity. The importance of long-term spatial memory for...

Roth 2nd T, LaDage L, Freas C, Pravosudov V
Proc Biol Sci
. 2011 Jul;
279(1727):402-10.
PMID: 21715407
Selection for enhanced cognitive traits is hypothesized to produce enhancements to brain structures that support those traits. Although numerous studies suggest that this pattern is robust, there are several mechanisms...

Roth 2nd T, LaDage L, Pravosudov V
Proc Biol Sci
. 2011 Feb;
278(1718):2662-7.
PMID: 21288947
Environmental conditions may create increased demands for memory, which in turn may affect specific brain regions responsible for memory function. This may occur either via phenotypic plasticity or selection for...

Chancellor L, Roth T, LaDage L, Pravosudov V
Dev Neurobiol
. 2010 Oct;
71(3):246-52.
PMID: 20949526
Harsh environmental conditions may produce strong selection pressure on traits, such as memory, that may enhance fitness. Enhanced memory may be crucial for survival in animals that use memory to...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2010 Jul;
278(1702):138-43.
PMID: 20659933
It has been hypothesized that individuals who have higher demands for spatially based behaviours should show increases in hippocampal attributes. Some avian species have been shown to use a spatially...
