    Sex-specific exploration accounts for differences in valence learning in male and female mice

    Heike Schuler, Eshaan S Iyer ... Rosemary C Bagot
    Deep behavioral phenotyping reveals that performance readouts from single-valence conditioning are biased by baseline sex differences in exploration, and mixed-valence conditioning provides a clearer assessment of learning in both sexes.
