The apparatus used was dual eight-arm radial mazes that were connected at one arm of each maze, with a start arm and doors to each maze. Rats could be forced to go to one maze or the other or could make a free choice between mazes. In Experiment 1, rats formed reference memory for...
Rats could be forced to go to one maze or the other or could make a free choice between mazes. In Experiment 1, rats formed reference memory for the arm containing food on one maze but had food randomly placed on different arms over trials on the other maze. In Experiment 2, rats ...
The experiment attempted to confirm the previous finding that hippocampal lesions in rats affected the information acquired by distant observation of the brightness difference of the T-maze arms, but left the information intact when it was gained by maze exploration. An alteration was introduced in ...
Lateral septum lesions disrupt non-sibling preference in old pups We next addressed the role of the lateral septum in the sibling-avoiding age group (P16+). P16+ rats entered the center of the T-maze and turned towards their choice (sibling or non-sibling) direction (Fig.3a). We performed...
Elevated Plus Maze Tail Suspension Test Light/Dark box Applicable Fields OFT is used to observe and study the neuropsychological changes and various behaviors of animals after entering an open environment. One experiment can quantitatively evaluate the spontaneous activity, exploratory behavior, anxiety, ...
Two experiments were designed to study the retrieval behavior of female rats toward natural and foster offspring. In the first experiment, lactating female

The most notable finding from this experiment was the observation of a very clear spatial signal, manifest as the occurrence of “place cells”—that is, cells that fired in a restricted region of the environment. These cells resembled classic hippocampal place cells recorded in CA1 in several ...
During the start trial of each session, a food pellet was present both in the left and the right arm of the T-maze. The rat was placed in the start box and upon lifting of the guillotine door the rat was allowed to move freely around the maze until one of the food pellets was ...
