Enrichment Discrimination Behavior in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Abstract: Objectives: 1) To reveal, among spontaneously hypertensive rats, subpopulations that diverge in attention to objects enriching an empty cross-maze; 2) To evaluate effect of clinically efficient drug for treatment of attention deficiency atomoxetine on the attention to environmental cues in attentionally-low rats. Method: A novel paradigm that provides measure of attention towards enriching objects independent of general locomotor activity and spatial orientation is employed. The apparatus consists of 4-arm rad… Show more

“…The sequence and timing of arms visited were recorded directly into a personal computer by the use of Behavset 3.0 software. The floor and the objects in arms were cleaned thoroughly with paper towel damped in 70% ethanol and were air-dried after each trial [18]. The position of the objects in a pair of opposite arm (#1 and #3, or #2 and #4) was alternated in a quasi-random order.…”
