TLDR
This protocol reduces inter-individual variability with the use of a selection criterion based on a minimal time of exploration for both objects during each session, and describes the three most commonly used variants, containing long (3 d), short (1 d) or no habituation phases.Abstract:
The object recognition test is now among the most commonly used behavioral tests for mice. A mouse is presented with two similar objects during the first session, and then one of the two objects is replaced by a new object during a second session. The amount of time taken to explore the new object provides an index of recognition memory. As more groups have used the protocol, the variability of the procedures used in the object recognition test has increased steadily. This protocol provides a necessary standardization of the procedure. This protocol reduces inter-individual variability with the use of a selection criterion based on a minimal time of exploration for both objects during each session. In this protocol, we describe the three most commonly used variants, containing long (3 d), short (1 d) or no habituation phases. Thus, with a short intersession interval (e.g., 6 h), this procedure can be performed in 4, 2 or 1 d, respectively, according to the duration of the habituation phase. This protocol should allow for the comparison of results from different studies, while permitting adaption of the protocol to the constraints of the experimenter.read more

Pulsative gnrh administration for treating cognitive disorders
TL;DR: In this paper, a mouse model of Down syndrome (DS - Ts65Dn mice) was used to demonstrate that GnRH insufficiency is involved in the age-dependent acquisition of cognitive decline in DS and that pulsatile GnRH treatment allows reversing olfactory and cognitive-associated impairments in DS.

TL;DR: The elevated plus maze is a widely used behavioral assay for rodents and it has been validated to assess the anti-anxiety effects of pharmacological agents and steroid hormones, and to define brain regions and mechanisms underlying anxiety-related behavior.

When is the hippocampus involved in recognition memory
TL;DR: The hippocampus plays a role in recognition memory when such memory involves remembering that a particular stimulus occurred in a particular place or when the memory contains a temporal or object recency component.
