Novel Object Recognition
Objective: Assessment of cognitive memory by measuring exploration of novel versus familiar objects
This is a Novel Object Recognition protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2012 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Novel Object Recognition Test
Mice were assessed for novel object recognition as a measure of cognitive memory
Note: Impaired novel object recognition was detected and consistent across cohorts of null mutants
