LOCATION DISCRIMINATION - LD - FOR MICE
Model 89546
DETAILS
The rodents are required to discriminate between two white squares on the screen. Responses to squares on one side of the screen will be rewarded, while responses on the other side of the screen will be punished with a time out period. The distance between the two squares is varied from trial to trial. Animals with lesions in the dorsal hippocampus were impaired when the locations were close together, but not when they where far apart.
