Adolescent Degu Repeat Reunion

Study examines how adolescent degus establish memories for new individuals. Each video represents one "reunion" session in which a degu is exposed either to a cagemate, a new stranger, or a familiar but recently-acquainted conspecific of the same sex. Videos are purely natural behavior within dyads; no behavioral or physiological/pharmacological manipulations are performed. Reunions take place approximately each 48 hours, which includes 24 hours of co-habitation with a cagemate followed by a 24 hours separation period.

本研究旨在探究青春期八齿鼠（degu）如何建立对新个体的记忆。每段视频对应一次"reunion"（重逢）实验流程：受试八齿鼠将分别暴露于三类对象——同笼伙伴、陌生同类，或是性别相同、熟悉但新近结识的同种个体。视频仅记录成对个体间的自然行为，未施加任何行为、生理或药理学层面的干预手段。重逢环节约每48小时开展一次，具体流程为：先与同笼伙伴共同栖息24小时，随后经历24小时的分离周期。
