Trace Avoidance Conditioning
Objective: To study the effects of medial and lateral telencephalic pallium ablation on retention of conditioned avoidance response in goldfish trained in trace avoidance conditioning where temporal cues are crucial for learning
This is a Trace Avoidance Conditioning protocol using goldfish as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2004 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Trace Avoidance Conditioning Training
Fish were trained in trace avoidance conditioning where temporal cues were crucial for the learning process
Note: This is the second experimental condition, contrasting with nontrace avoidance conditioning in the first experiment

“In the second experiment, fish were trained in trace avoidance conditioning in which temporal cues were crucial for the learning process”
Retention Testing
Retention of the conditioned avoidance response was tested following training
Note: Testing occurred after brain lesions were performed

“This work was aimed at studying the effects of ablation of the medial telencephalic pallia (MP) and lateral telencephalic pallia (LP) in goldfish on the retention of a conditioned avoidance response previously acquired”
