Social Transmission of Food Preference

behavioralratNot specified

Objective: Assess hippocampal-dependent social learning through food preference transmission in rats with dentate gyrus-specific knockdown of adult neurogenesis

Protocol Steps

Social Transmission of Food Preference Test

Conduct social transmission of food preference behavioral test on rats with dentate gyrus-specific knockdown of adult neurogenesis

Not specifiedNot specified

Note: This test is described as a behavioral test that depends on hippocampal function

“Social transmission of food preference, a behavioral test that also depends on hippocampal function, was not affected by knockdown of neurogenesis”
