Analysis of novel object recognition using MouseMove’s region-of-interest function.
(a,b) Video still of a representative mouse during familiarization (a) and test (b) sessions of the Novel Object Recognition (NOR) test. (c,d) Cumulative trajectories of the same mouse during familiarization (c) and test (d) sessions in 200 s intervals. The blue overlaid circles indicate that each ROI was centred on the stimuli (i.e. the lego tower and flask) and sized to be 30 pixel lengths in radius (i.e. a ~25 cm diameter circle). (e) Relative time spent exploring the 2nd object (i.e. the lego tower in the test session or flask #2 in the familiarization session) versus the 1st object (i.e. flask #1 in both the test and familiarization sessions). Dot points represent the mean value for individual mice (total of n = 7 mice). Lines connect the values for the same mouse across both NOR sessions. **p < 0.01 as determined by two-sided paired t-test.
