Novel object location and recognition task. In the twin tasks focused on recognition memory of object position or identity, there was no significant difference between McGill and control rats. General exploration behavior was similar, although McGill rats were less willing to climb onto the objects (a trend-level difference apparent in both tasks), presumably because of the balance problems noted in other tasks. In NOL, preference for a relocated object evidenced by the discrimination index and discrimination ratio was weak in both McGill and WT animals. In NOR, both groups preferred the novel object to the same extent.
