(The data is all in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-022-04235-6" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s42003-022</span><span class="invisible">-04235-6</span></a>, and publicly available.) Generally, we talk about similarities, but mice learn slower. Rats show the transition from wait zone to <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/precommitment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>precommitment</span></a> in the offer zone in a few days, while mice take a lot longer.</p><p>Another space where I think there have been rat and mouse comparisons (although I don't find any explicit comparisons) is in the place field stability literature. My memory is that Cliff Kentros had really cool data on (<a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PlaceCell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlaceCell</span></a>) <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PlaceField" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PlaceField</span></a> stability as a function of <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/hippocampus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hippocampus</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/dopamine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dopamine</span></a> levels and task.

But both could be manipulated with tasks and <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/dopamine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dopamine</span></a> (ant)agonists.

Alright, the #Dopamine #Driven #Development (DDD) experiment has been too powerful on me, All I want to do is work on and improve my #Sisyphus #Test #Framework !!!!

Gamifying tests has turned this process into a very fun experience.

Also I spent a lot of time on the 'dialogue' or 'storytelling', whatever you want to call it, there is a unwritten story told within this test framework, you must uncover and discover the truth as you use it ;)

Does YOUR test framework double as a Narrative RPG?? Mine does!

Have you ever heard of Dopamine Driven Development (DDD)?!

Since I've heard of this concept, I've become obsessed with gamifying the developer experience.

I want to showcase my 'Sisyphus Test Framework' that keeps track of your progress, XP bar, level-ups, achievements, and more! All themed around Greek Mythology - including inspirational quotes whenever you test.
