Attentional set-shifting in mice: modification of a rat paradigm, and evidence for strain-dependent variation.

Abstract excerpt

Increasingly precise molecular genetic tools are available to study in mice the cellular mechanisms underlying complex brain functions, but the behavioural paradigms to assess these functions often lack the required specificity. In this study, an attentional set-shifting paradigm to assess medial frontal cortex functions in rats was modified for use in mice and variation between two relevant mouse strains...
