Table 1.
Experimental design of animal testing groups.
*An HdhQ111/+ animal in testing group 3 became ill at approximately 8 months of age and was therefore culled reducing the number of HdhQ111/+ animals in the testing group to 7. Abbreviation 5-CSRTT = 5-choice serial reaction time task.
Training (4 months of age) |
Testing (12 months of age) |

---|---|---|
Group 1 Attentional training (n = 14, 7 HdhQ111/+) |
Nose poke training (15 days) 5-CSRTT training (20 days) |
Nose poke training (15 days) 5-CSRTT testing (20 days) |
Group 2 Non-attentional training (n = 14, 6 HdhQ111/+) |
Nose poke training (15 days) Extended nose poke training (20 days) |
Nose poke training (15 days) 5-CSRTT testing (20 days) |
Group 3 Control (n = 15, 8 HdhQ111/+*) |
No training | Nose poke training (15 days) 5-CSRTT testing (20 days) |
