Cued Fear Conditioning Test
Objective: Assessment of cue-dependent fear learning and memory in Dcx mutant mice to evaluate hippocampal-dependent learning deficits
This is a Cued 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.

Cued Conditioned Fear Test
Behavioral test to assess cue-dependent fear learning and memory in Dcx mutant mice
Note: Test was performed on both heterozygous females and hemizygous males; defects were observed in cued conditioned fear tests
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.”
