Spatial Memory Test
Objective: Assess alterations in spatial memory in adolescent offspring exposed to heavy, binge-like alcohol during early postnatal development
This is a Spatial Memory Test protocol using rat as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2015 paper published in Journal of Neuroinflammation.

Alcohol Vapor Exposure During Early Development
Rat pups exposed to alcohol vapor inhalation to model heavy, binge-like alcohol exposure during early postnatal period
Note: Blood alcohol concentration maintained at 0.5 g/dL during exposure period

Spatial Memory Assessment in Adolescent Offspring
Adolescent offspring assessed for alterations in spatial memory following early alcohol exposure
