Abstract
Novel Object Recognition Test for mice
Individualize each mouse in a different cage with new bedding.
Expose the animal to two identical objects for habituation.
After 24h change one of the two objects for a new one.
Measure the time the animal spends exploring the new object and the old object.
Calculate the discrimination index using the formula: [time exploring the new object-time exploring the familiar object]/total time).
