Open-Field Habituation Test
Objective: Assessment of habituation and exploratory behavior in an open-field environment to evaluate cognitive dysfunction in YAC128 mice
This is a Open-Field Habituation Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2005 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Open-field habituation test
YAC128 mice and wild-type controls were tested for habituation and exploratory behavior in an open-field environment
Note: Testing conducted at 8 months of age when deficits become apparent
