Contextual Fear Conditioning Test
Objective: Assessment of context-dependent fear learning and memory in Dcx mutant mice
This is a Contextual Fear Conditioning Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2002 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Context and Cued Conditioned Fear Testing
Behavioral tests were conducted to assess context-dependent fear learning and memory in Dcx mutant mice
Note: Tests measured defects in both context and cued conditioned fear responses
View evidence from paper
“Behavioral tests show defects in context and cued conditioned fear tests, suggesting that deficits in hippocampal learning accompany the abnormal cytoarchitecture.”
