Olfactometry with Mice

摘要: A computer-controlled, multiple-channel odor generator, operant test chamber, and discrimination training procedure for mice are described. The generator allows controlled presentation of any one or combinations eight odors to an odor-sampling port that contains a liquid reinforcement delivery tube also serves detect responses. modified discrete trial conditioning provides measures both response accuracy rate during anticipation stimulus in the presence two different stimuli. Results from numerous experiments demonstrate that, with these methods, reliably rapidly acquire detection variety odor-discrimination tasks, reflects incentive motivation stimuli not associated reward.
