Table 1. Summary of behavioral testing.

Discrimination Index for task greater than zero?
Control DES ISO
Novel Object Recognition Yes Yes Yes
Object-Place Recognition Yes Yes Yes
Object-Context Recognition Yes Yes No
Social Recognition Yes Yes No
Allocentric Object-Place Recognition Yes No No
Object-Place-Context Recognition Yes No No

For each test, recognition of a familiar set of stimuli results in preferential exploration of the novel aspect of the task. Discrimination Index (DI) represents the time spent with the novel object or animal relative to the familiar one, and DI significantly greater than zero demonstrates successful recognition in the task.
