Olfaction-based learned preference assessment without the use of motivational fear or motivational weight loss by Sara E. Moss, Ekaterina S. McCurdy, Natalya N. Thomas, Danielle Gulick, Angela M. Poff, Dominic P. D'Agostino

“…Mice developed an appetitive olfactory preference for sucrose as a reward, in the absence of motivational weight loss, as measured by time spent exploring a three-chamber association box with access to both scents. We assessed whether this protocol discriminated learning deficit induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration.ConclusionWe conclude that this protocol is a viable tool for assessing learning abilities in preclinical models with auditory or visual deficits, motor impairments, or an inability to tolerate motivational weight loss.…”
