The paper develops an experimental protocol to test whether Gryllus pennsylvanicus can discriminate between two types of compound visual stimuli motif pairs (A-A versus A-B) using an operant conditioning setup. Using a dichotomic Y-maze, two different pairs of colored visual cues, and a water reward, the study reports that crickets learned the association with the reinforcer and significantly discriminated between the two visual patterns. The caveat explicitly stated is that the work is a preprint that has not undergone peer review at the time of posting. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes an experimental protocol allowing Gryllus pennsylvanicus to discriminate an A-A and A-B motif pairs of compound visual stimuli. Specifically, this study consists in an operant conditioning procedure including a dichotomic Y-maze, two different pairs of compound visual colored cues and a water reward. Results are conclusive for this visuo-spatial regularities study, Gryllus pennsylvanicus were able to significantly discriminate between the two compound visual patterns and learned the association with the reinforcer.
